Lugano Buskers

Lugano Buskers celebrates street art with intense and creative performances spanning music, theater, cabaret, puppetry, acrobatics, and installations. An experiment in social and artistic coexistence: a whirlwind of freaks, artists, eccentrics, and musicians that, over five days, comes together and breaks apart in a harmony of beauty and richness.

The Festival pays tribute to street artistry, which, despite the simplicity of its means, brings intense performances to life across a wide variety of genres – from concerts to theater to cabaret, from puppetry to aerial acrobatics, right up to the most impromptu installations... anything can happen.
