Arce Buskers Festival

Street art in the heart of Arce

The Arce Buskers Festival is the annual summer event that turns the historic center of Arce, a town in the province of Frosinone in the Lazio region, into a grand open-air stage. The alleys, squares, and stairways of this Ciociaria village become the natural backdrop for street performers, creating a festive atmosphere in the lead-up to Ferragosto.

The fifth edition: two nights of entertainment

In 2026, the festival celebrates its fifth edition and takes a significant step forward: for the first time, it expands to two nights, taking place on Thursday, August 13th, and Friday, August 14th, 2026. From 7:30 PM until midnight, Piazza and Corso Umberto I fill with crowds and non-stop performances.

Jugglers, acrobats, and wandering musicians

The program is dedicated to the world of busking and contemporary circus. Along the streets of the center, you will encounter:

• jugglers and tightrope walkers;
• acrobats and contemporary circus artists;
• street bands and wandering musicians;
• theatrical performances and roaming shows.

The artistic direction is led by Lucia Mattei and the Teatro della Luna Association, who curate the selection of artists and the setup of the various performance spots throughout the village.

A free event for the whole family

Admission is completely free of charge. The format, designed for both adults and children, makes the festival a perfect outing for the whole family: you can stroll freely from one spot to another, stopping to watch the shows that capture your attention the most.

Arce and the Estate Arce

The Buskers Festival is one of the highlights of Estate Arce, the summer calendar promoted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Municipality of Arce, which enlivens the town with music, tradition, and culture from mid-June to late September. Located between the Liri Valley and the hills of Ciociaria, Arce offers an intimate and charming historic center, the ideal setting for an evening of entertainment under the stars.
