"Street performers and musicians can now apply and pay online for a City privilege license to operate on certain downtown streets. The new user-friendly process follows City Council’s recent adoption of an ordinance allowing licensed ‘buskers’ to perform in groups of as many as five people on parts of Elm, Greene, Davis, Church and Washington streets and Commerce Place from 11 am to 11 pm.
To obtain a license, buskers should visit www.greensboro-nc.gov/Buskers for links to the application, which can be submitted online or delivered in person to the Collections Division in Room 11, UG Level of the Melvin Municipal Office Building, 300 W. Washington St. Also on that Web page is a link to the online payment portal, as well as a link for background check paperwork, which must be submitted in person to Collections.
For more information about rules and regulations for street performers and musicians, visit the City’s Code of Ordinances at www.greensboro-nc.gov/codeofordinances and type “Street Performers” in the search bar."

"Buskers now may grovel in the privacy of their own homes by paying online online for the privelege of exercising their First Amendment rights."
