Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world and dates back to antiquity. Wikipedia

A small town in the country held a busker fair which was not well attended. Most people couldn't understand the word "busker" and didn't bother to google the definition of it either.

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is one of the best-known names in music today, but before he was selling out stadiums, he was a teenage busker in the streets of England.
 
There is a book and movie popular now about "A Cat Named Bob" whose owner was a busker in England.
