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.
