Camposano Buskers Festival

The street performers' festival in the heart of the Nolano area

The Camposano Buskers Festival is an annual event that, every December, transforms the center of Camposano, a small town in the Nolano area near Naples, into a grand open-air stage. For two evenings, the town's streets and squares fill with jugglers, acrobats, musicians, and roving performers, in a well-established appointment eagerly awaited by the local community and visitors from neighboring towns.

A historic center turned into a stage

The festival unfolds across the town's most iconic landmarks: Piazza Umberto I, Corso Vittorio Emanuele III, and the Villa Comunale. Starting in the evening, shows take place in a roving format, allowing the audience to move from one spot to another and be surprised by the diverse performances. The administration's stated goal is to enhance urban spaces and offer the city an occasion for celebration, culture, and social connection.

Entertainment for all ages

The artistic lineup blends live music, roving acts, circus arts, and moments of magic. It is a program designed for families and all ages, capable of turning the town center into a place of wonder and fun. Admission to all shows is traditionally free, in keeping with the popular and inclusive spirit of the event.

A project by the Campania Region

The Camposano Buskers Festival is part of the «Itinerari del Gusto e dell'Anima - Cultura, Natura e Sapori nei Borghi Campani» program, funded by the Campania Region. The project connects various municipalities in the Nolano and Vesuvius areas with the goal of promoting villages, traditions, and local excellence through widespread events.

Camposano and its surroundings

Located in the Nolano area, in Campania, Camposano is a small town that has become a reference point for local street performers thanks to this festival. The event helps strengthen the town's identity and places it, for a few days each year, at the center of the cultural scene in the province of Naples.
