Solidarity in music on the streets of Verona, with doctors becoming street musicians
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 edition of Medical Buskers took place in Verona from May 29 to 31, 2026, organized by the Associazione Medici per Strada. About one hundred musical groups, many composed of healthcare personnel, animated eleven locations in the historic center, from Piazza Bra to Piazza delle Erbe.
The event, free and widespread, supported Emergency and Doctors Without Borders through fundraising, in the spirit of the values of care, peace, and human rights.
