In Detroit you will need no permit for "Sidewalk Entertainment." Following is the code:
Sec. 5-1-5. Sidewalk entertainers permitted; conditions. (a) Except for Residentially Zoned Districts of the City (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6) and Residential Planned Development (PD) Districts, sidewalk entertainers shall be allowed to perform on outdoor public areas or walkways live entertainment which consists of dance, drama, juggling, mime, musical performances, singing, or other such entertainment that is associated with the performing arts. (b) In accordance with this section, sidewalk entertainers are permitted to perform only upon the following conditions: (1) Such performance shall not be allowed on city property that is under the jurisdiction of the recreation department, except for recreation department property that is located in the Downtown Business District; (2) Such performances shall not take place during any carnival, festival, parade, or other event that either is scheduled by any city department or is permitted by the city council; (3) During such performances, sidewalk entertainers are prohibited from using any device that increases volume including, but not limited to, an amplifier, a horn and a microphone, or from using any passive instrument of entertainment, such as a cassette player, a compact disc player or a radio; (4) Such performance shall not involve the sale of any goods or services; (5) During such performances, sidewalk entertainers shall not solicit donations, but may accept unsolicited contributions; and (6) Such performances shall not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic.

Except for #5:
Quote:
(5) During such performances, sidewalk entertainers shall not solicit donations, but may accept unsolicited contributions; If you pass a hat you're soliciting donations. If you use a hat line you're soliciting donations. You could get a $500 fine a 90 day in jail for violating that ordinance. Jay Jennings

Correct. The first thing is to make sure no officers are around me when I am about to close. The second thing is not all officers know of that ordinance. The third thing is it will be safe for me to say "I will only accept unsolicited contributions/donations." The fourth thing is I will have a untouched container sitting on my table reading in bold letters "Unsolicited Donations." The city ordinance will be in fine print underneath. The fifth thing is I can still get my fun and experience from performing on the streets.
