The CitySpectacular Event (formerly known as Street Performance World Championship) is probably one of the most entertaining events in Summer in Dublin. Acrobats, clowns, jugglers, contortionists and mime artists all flock to Dublin to show us their talents and often make us laugh. Admission is free and you can give whatever you want to the artists (in general for €50, they would come back home with you).
Here's the 2019 edition with Victor Rubilar, Space Cowboy, The Silver Starlets, USA Breakdancers and Magic Brian!
Camera used: Canon EOS 1200D, 55-250mm, No Flash.
(Output is rather good for Web photography, but not really for print, as very fast shutter speed is technically needed for this kind of events)

Some images taken from the 2017 Edition. Unfortunately, at that time I was using wrongly my CANON camera and chose some settings poorly. For this kind of event where your subjects will move a lot, your shutter speed should be faster 1/400s to get some results.
