Step right up

There will be a lot of unusual folks wandering around Faneuil Hall - and we're not talking about tourists wearing weird T-shirts. The lineup at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace Street Performers Festival reads like a handout from an old circus show: Houdini-esque escape artist Jason Escape, Big Nazo masked musicians and puppeteers, Aerial Angels, the Origami Guy, Silver Girl (the human statue), Break Dancers, and the Real McCoy Show combining circus skills with physical comedy. More than 30 performers will cover the music spectrum of folk, Americana, family rock, a cappella, and blues. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. through Monday. Free. Rain or shine (tents). Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market, Boston. 617-523-1300. www.faneuilhallboston.org
