Moltrasio Buskers Festival
Street theatre animates the jewel village on Lake Como
About Moltrasio Buskers
The jewel village becomes a stage
Amidst the villas and alleys descending towards the water, the Municipality of Moltrasio, in the Province of Como, hosts the Moltrasio Buskers Festival every summer, a street theatre and art event that brings performances to the village squares. Founded in 2020, the festival has transformed one of the most charming villages on Lake Como into an open-air theatre.
Clowning, circus, and puppetry
The event features a curated selection of street theatre performances: clowning, puppetry, contemporary circus, and acrobatics. A few dates, but carefully chosen from the best Italian and international companies, capable of amazing audiences of all ages. The shows are held in symbolic locations of the village such as Piazza San Rocco and Piazza Gibuti, in the hamlet of Tosnacco.

Shows for everyone, free entry
All shows are free, designed to fill Moltrasio's summer evenings with magic, laughter, and wonder. A formula that enhances the village and its connection to the lake, offering residents and tourists an opportunity to gather in the village squares.
