There’s something truly special about a community that shows up — even when it’s raining.

Because of each and every one of you who came out and supported our Grand Finale Show, we’re incredibly proud to share that $750 was donated to Tiny Home Takeout.

Your support not only helped us close out another incredible carnival, but also allowed us to give back to an organization doing important work in our community.

From all of us at the Sun Life Waterloo Busker Carnival, thank you. Thank you for standing in the rain, for cheering, for celebrating with us, and for helping make a difference.
