Entertain at Frisco Square. Bring your musical talent to the fastest-growing
city in America! Sing, dance or play an instrument for the pleasure of
passers-by who reward you with cash. Frisco Square is the new heart of Frisco.
MILLIONS of annual visitors come to our events, visit our shops and patronize
our seven award-winning restaurants. Weekend evenings (6-10 pm) should be
particularly attractive and lucrative. Practice your craft, gain experience and
make money.
At Frisco Square, we encourage local artists of all kinds. Our annual Arts in
the Square event (March 2011) highlights visual AND performing arts. Year-round
we invite entertainers to add to the fun and interest that are part of living in
and visiting Frisco Square. At our office (8874 Coleman Blvd.) we have a short
information form that we ask you to complete. Because Frisco Square is a
“mix” of retail, office and residential properties, we offer you an
opportunity to understand the City of Frisco “Noise Ordinance”. We also try
to let you know what our expectations are because we believe that understanding
will avoid problems or disappointments, later.

From Wikipedia: Busking is the practice of performing in public places for tips
and gratuities. People engaging in this practice are called buskers. Buskers may
also be known as street performers, street musicians, minstrels, or troubadours.
Busking performances can be just about anything that people find entertaining.
Buskers may do acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, card tricks,
clowning, comedy, contortions & escapes, dance, fire eating, fire breathing,
fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime and a mime variation where the artist
performs as a living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming,
storytelling or recite poetry or prose as a bard, street art (sketching and
painting, etc.), street theatre, sword swallowing, and even putting on a flea
circus.
