HOW TO ATTEND THE FESTIVAL

Access is permitted only with the purchase of a ticket. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ferrarabuskers.com, www.ticketmaster.com and www.ticketone.it or on site at the festival box office.
The entrance ticket helps support the organization of the Festival and has been kept as affordable as possible.
As part of the tradition of street performance, buskers do not receive a fee from the festival. They rely on the generosity of the audience. We warmly encourage you to show your appreciation for their performances by making a voluntary donation directly “in the hat”, a customary gesture in street art culture.
Your entry ticket includes free access to workshops, exhibitions, and labs. Some of these may require reservations due to limited capacity.
You could support our Festival by purchasing single-day or full-event tickets in advance.
