Expect a quirky selection of comedy, dancing, music, street theater and more scattered throughout the pedestrian zone. What do we mean by quirky? This year’s acts include Nellie the Hippo and her exasperated handler, a duo that blends fire and acrobatics, and a group of astronauts discovering the wonders of K-Town.
