The idea of the Buskers Festival dates back over 40 years and the event has since gained worldwide prominence. Such open-air festivals in the heart of towns allow the general public to experience a diverse range of cultural attractions at minimal cost. Free access for all guarantees maximum exposure. Instead of tickets, Buskers Bern sells programme booklets and festival wristbands for CHF 10 to cover the costs of organising the event. All the artistes have their transportation, food and accommodation costs reimbursed. It is the audience however who will contribute to their performance fee. Right where the artistes perform by means of donations and tips paid into a hat.
