Hello!

 

I will be arriving in Amsterdam in about a week. I busk with balloons, balloon twisting, modeling, clowning and usually people (especially the kids ask for balloons). I don't charge them money but have a box where they can put coins in if they want to support me.

 

Last summer I've worked like this in Berlin and London (Southbank, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square) and did pretty well, not having any problems with authorities. This year I couldn't do anything in London because recently they stated that this is street trade and not busking. I have a friend who still twists baloons in Berlin and it's ok.

 

I want to ask you if you know what Amsterdam is like for balloon artists. Can you busk with balloons in the street? What are the busking allowed streets?

 

Hope I get an answer since my money is going down and I need to work quick.

 

Thanks a lot!
