The streets of the historic center, in fact, will once again be filled with cheering audiences, attracted by the absolute uniqueness of this event dedicated to street musicians which is the largest in the world.
The Festival will open its doors to the best musicians, buskers and various artists in the world who, from sunset to midnight, will take turns along one of the most evocative streets of Ferrara. There will also be workshops, talks, food villages and ingenuity markets.After midnight the Festival will continue with the DopoFestival at Parco Massari.
Created by Stefano Bottoni in 1987 to react to the ban on street playing, the Festival is today the largest event in the world dedicated to street musicians.
The Festival's commitment has always been aimed at respect for the environment: for this reason, every year projects and initiatives aimed at raising awareness of an active and "green" conscience are presented. The BGreen project of the Ferrara Buskers Festival aims to create an event with zero impact on pollution and noise. Ferrara Buskers Festival was the first event in Italy to be certified ISO 20121 with the Ecofestival project.
Ferrara Buskers Festival is therefore much more than a music festival.
It is union and sharing of art, music and different cultures.
A journey, an experience in which at every step it is possible to discover a new world.
