Un Bagno di Buskers Festival

A Buskers' Bath: the spa town becomes a stage

A Buskers' Bath is the summer street art festival that every August transforms the historic center of Bagno di Romagna, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, into a large open-air theatre. For two evenings, the delightful spa town in the upper Savio Valley, in Emilia-Romagna, welcomes national and international street artists who perform in squares, alleys, courtyards, and gardens.

Street artists from all over the world

Jugglers, acrobats, clowns, mimes, equilibriums, puppeteers, itinerant bands, and fire artists animate the most picturesque corners of the town. The shows, lasting about 45-60 minutes, are repeated several times during the evening, allowing the audience to move freely from one location to another along the route that crosses the village for almost a kilometer.

The festival venues

The performances are distributed in the most characteristic points of the municipality: Piazza Dante, the Courtyard of the Palazzo del Capitano, the Ancient Baths of Sant'Agnese, Piazza Ricasoli, Piazza Santa Maria, Largo del Palagio, the War Memorial, the Fonti Pavilion, and the Gardens along the Savio. The historic center, with its painted facades and spa atmosphere, becomes the natural setting for an evening of pure wonder.

Good food and Romagna tradition

Alongside the shows, gastronomic stands set up by the Pro Loco of Bagno di Romagna offer typical specialties of Romagna cuisine, from piadina to local first courses. Admission to all performances is free, in a festive atmosphere that combines culture, entertainment, and conviviality.

Bagno di Romagna, a pearl of the Apennines

Known since Roman times for its thermal waters, Bagno di Romagna is one of the most beloved destinations in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, nestled in the greenery of the Casentinesi Forests National Park. The event, part of the I Percorsi del Savio program, is an ideal opportunity to discover the village and its territory in the heart of summer.
