22 Years of Buskers Bern: A Round-up

Euphoric. The 22nd edition of Buskers Bern was once again a truly extraordinary sensory experience – completely real”! We are delighted and grateful. For three nights, a wonderfully diverse crowd – young and old, visitors from near and far – celebrated in Bern’s Old Town with joyous abandon, in peace, and in fine style. The beaming, contented faces said it all.

Just in the door this very minute. We can't ever thank you enough for this incredible experience... it's beyond magic. Such an utterly amazing festival - we're buzzing on cloud nine still! You are to festivals what Mozart was to music. Ray was just the gem of all gems also - we would have been lost without him. Say hi if you're ever in Dublin - we need to get you a drink!! Get plenty of rest and talk soon. Sending all the love in the world your way and to the entire festival team ❤️❤️❤️

I just wanted to thank you. Not only for this time, (which was a blast, a real tornado of happiness) but also for taking a chance on us 9 years ago. Having been at Buskers Bern in 2016 was a career, if not life changing experience for us. We realised that performing on the street really was what we mostly loved. Coming back was just so amazing! I hope you get some rest, it must be quite a marathon to get the festival to run like a swiss train. You should all be proud of making this wonderful, colourful, joyful experience year after year!

Quiero agradecerte, de corazón, la acogida durante el festival y el cariño con que nos habéis tratado y que felicites a todo el equipo por vuestra profesionalidad. Nos sentimos MEJOR que en casa (ojalá tuvieramos un Río Aare aquí!)... y, realmente, fue gracias a cómo nos recibió el público y el equipo del festival. Se respira el amor y la ilusión con que hacéis posible el festival. Enhorabuena por esta edición. ¡Larga vida al Buskers Bern Festival!

So schön, die Erinnerungsbilder des Buskers 2025 – herzlichen Dank. Es war intensiv und heiss und berührend, dieses Wochenende. All die Kreativität auf einem Haufen, von ganz fein und leise bis gewaltig laut und raumgreifend.
