Buskers Welcome
Did you know that buskers, another term for street performers, are welcome in Downtown Wichita? While no license is required, performers are not permitted to sell merchandise. However, tipping is allowed and encouraged. So, the next time you encounter a busker - stop, look and listen - then remember to tip more than just your hat!
