Ferrara Buskers Festival Tickets

Ferrara Buskers Festival is the world's number one street artist festival.

"Art without boundaries"

The Ferrara Buskers Festival is the last space of true artistic freedom: where art is born spontaneously, where the unpredictable is the rule, where different cultures merge to create unrepeatable magic. It is not a planned festival, it is a living ecosystem where art happens.

"In an increasingly controlled and predictable world, the need for artistic freedom and authentic encounters between different cultures has never been stronger."

There is a magical moment that only happens on the street.

It is when you stop because you hear a melody you don't know. When a sound catches you while you are going somewhere else. When you discover that there is an instrument you didn't know existed, played by someone from the other side of the world.

Street art is the ultimate wilderness of creativity.

Since 1988, Ferrara has been the sanctuary of this magic.

Every August, our medieval streets become the most honest stage in the world. Here, art strips itself of all superfluity and remains naked: just talent, passion and the courage to put itself on the line in front of anyone.
