FERRARA BUSKERS FESTIVAL

Cattedrale di San Giorgio Martire - Chiesa - Cattedrale

 Thousands of street performers (commonly known as buskers) will be thronging the historic piazzas around the castle and the cathedral of Ferrara for the annual Buskers Festival, running from the 22 nd to 31 st August. During a magical week of international entertainment, the town will buz with acrobats, clowns, singers, poets, conjurers and musical groups, ranging from African drums to Celtic harps.

The festival is considered to be the biggest non-competitive buskers event in the world. Organizers say that, in the last edition, if all the groups had performed one after the other they would have needed 115 days of continuous spectacle.
