Buskers Bern
Overview
Intro
Dance, laugh, love! For three days, street artists from all over the world turn Bern’s Old Town into a colorful hustle and bustle.
At Buskers Bern, things get creative, poetic and quirky. Amidst the music, dance and theater groups of various styles, acrobatic performances, puppet theaters and food stalls, a giant bird suddenly floats through Kramgasse, followed by a horde of extraplanetary creatures - that's Buskers Bern. The 20th edition of the festival is also expected to attract around 70,000 visitors to Bern's old town.
In addition to more than 300 artistic, artistic - and in any case entertaining - performances, there will be an exquisite gastronomic offer on these days in the alleys of the UNESCO-designated old town.
The area is freely accessible, only at three locations there is a "Bändeli" control. Buskers Bern is a non-profit and low-budget event without big sponsors. Whoever buys a Festivalbändeli not only receives a program booklet, but also helps to ensure that Buskers Bern can continue to be held.
If you like the performances, you can give the artists on site a hat money. They do not receive a fixed fee for their performance at Buskers Bern. The hat money is their income.
