Founded in the summer of 2001 in Seattle's Pike Place Market, the Pike Market Performers' Guild represents street performers in the Pike Place Market. Now in the fourth year of our exsistance, we have suceeded in becoming a voice for performers in the market and in the city beyond, mediating between merchants and buskers, as well as gaining great recognition for Buskers in general. Last year the Seattle City Council proclaimed "Seattle Buskers' Week" a week celebrating Street Performers city wide, culminating in the Pike Place Market Buskers' Festival, a festival celebrating buskers from around the NW and beyond. This year will be our fourth such festival, Sunday, September 18, in Seattle's Pike Place Market.
