About Medical Buskers

For one weekend, the historic center of Verona fills with music thanks to Medical Buskers, a charity festival where about a hundred groups โ€“ many made up of doctors and healthcare professionals โ€“ perform as street musicians in the city's most beautiful squares and streets. From Piazza Bra to Piazza delle Erbe, from Porta Borsari to Via Mazzini, the notes accompany fundraising for Emergency and Doctors Without Borders, in an event that unites art, civic engagement, and generosity in the name of the right to healthcare.

Solidarity That Becomes Music

Medical Buskers is the charity festival organized by the Associazione Medici per Strada (Doctors for the Street Association) that transforms the historic center of Verona into a large, widespread stage. The protagonists are about one hundred musical groups, many of which are composed of doctors and healthcare professionals, who for a weekend set aside their white coats to perform as buskers, street musicians, in the squares and streets of the Scaliger city.

Eleven Performance Spots in the Heart of Verona

The performances take place in eleven locations distributed throughout the historic center: Piazza Bra, Porta Borsari, Via Mazzini, Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Porta Leoni, Piazza San Nicolรฒ, and various historic courtyards. The public strolls from one stage to another, allowing themselves to be surprised by the genres and stories of the musicians.

Fundraising for Those Who Care

More than just a concert, Medical Buskers is a major solidarity initiative: the funds raised support Emergency and Doctors Without Borders, organizations committed to healthcare in crisis areas. The event carries forward the values of care, peace, and human rights, carrying on the legacy of figures like Gino Strada.

An Event for Verona

Promoted with the patronage of the Municipality of Verona, Medical Buskers is now an anticipated event on the city's calendar: a weekend where free, widespread music becomes a tool for solidarity in the heart of the Veneto capital.
