Street performance is mostly a seasonal job in D.C. Like the cherry blossoms of the Tidal Basin, these performers tend to pop up during the warmer months when the weather is nice, tourism is at its peak, and commuters are more inclined to stop and listen for a while. This past spring and summer, we hit the sidewalks and joined the bustling crowds in an effort to capture the sounds of Washington’s buskers.
