Where to eat

The Ferrara Buskers Festival Association especially recommends the eating places that support the festival:
* Ristobuskers (formerly Buskerhouse), in the San Paolo cloister in Piazzetta Schiatti, open from 7pm to midnight
* Ferrara Music Park (formerly Buskergarden), just outside the city walls (“Sottomura”), entrance at n°1 Via Bologna, open from 7pm until dawn
* the various buskerbars at different points in the performance area
* the eating places that are “friends” of the Ferrara Buskers Festival, as listed in the map in the Festival Guide and distributed separately in the festival area together with the Buskercard. Download the map (edition 2010_ new program under construction)

Remember that Buskercard holders can enter the “Vinci con Buskercard” prize draw. By putting at least three proofs of purchase (receipts) in a sealed envelope, cardholders get the chance to win a week for two people at the next Ferrara Buskers Festival (first drawn entry) or a gift voucher to the value of the sum of the enclosed receipts, up to a maximum of 500 euros (second and third drawn entries). The ballot box for the entries is at the spectators’ information point in the Castle courtyard. The rules for the prize draw are on www.ferrarabuskers.com.

Also, during the festival, thanks to an extension granted by Ferrara City Council, bars, restaurants and pizzerias can stay open until late, without having to observe the statutory weekly rest day.
