Ferrara’s contemporary festivals

Buskers Festival

Ferrara is especially famous for its Buskers Festival. The best street musicians and other street artists in the world are invited to show their talents. No guys with guitars at the Buskers Festival, which does not really make it into a Buskers Festival, but that is another story.

Ferrara’s Palium

Every last sunday of May, a medieval feast, the Palium of St. George is held.

Balloons Festival

The ten day Ferraro Balloons Festival is the biggest hot air balloons festival in Italy and one of the biggest in Europe. The Wikipedia article about Ferrara I used for most of the information on the town does not say whether Ferrara has had to overcome a lot of competition in the hot air balloon field.
