26^th– 3o^thAugust

 

Given the unprecedented times, this year’s Buskers Festival will undoubtedly be different to previous years due to the precautions our town is taking. However, by popular demand, this fantastic music festival is still going ahead and promises to be an exciting and major event in Ferrara’s cultural calendar.

For safety, only musicians from Italy will be allowed to perform in Ferrara although there will also be a live streaming session performed by our International Buskers for everyone to enjoy.

 

Five locations in the historical city centre have been chosen to host the artists. Three concerts will be held in each of these locations every evening with a limited number of places. All the normal safety standards will be put in place to protect the audience and the artists. Concerts start at 9 p.m. onwards, although the venues open at 7 p.m. and invite people to have an aperitif and/or to sample some delicious street food. You are advised to arrive at your venue by at least 8.30 p.m.

 

Given the restricted audiences numbers, this year it is compulsory to book tickets in advance if you would like to come to the festival. Tickets cost €10 per person, per venue. Children under the age of 6 are free but during concerts, parents are asked to please sit children with them.

The Buskers Festival organisation does not recommend bringing babies under the age of 1 to the concerts for safety reasons.

 

Animals are not allowed because of limited space and the loud volume can distress them.

 

Drinks are not allowed to be brought to the festival. Each location will have a drinks stand and some will have food stands too or bars/restaurants nearby.
