Vienna’s finest (and weirdest) street performers all in one place

Buskers Festival Wien 2022 – Wiener Straßenkunst Festival

Kids! Adults! Um, yeah, that about covers everyone – who doesn’t like some quality street performing? And thankfully, there’s a festival that will be gathering a whole bunch of beautiful buskers in one place.

The Buskers Festival is three days of dance troupes, musicians, people wrapped in aluminium foil on stilts reading poetry, and all kinds of other performers. You name it, the Buskers Festival has got it. This festival is simply awesome.

Fair warning: A trick of the trade for performers fighting stage fright is to imagine the audience in their underwear so don’t wear those imaginary granny panties, no matter how comfortable they are. Check out the programme.
