11.09.-13.09.2026 Karlsplatz Vienna

After a three-year break, the Buskers Festival is finally returning to Vienna’s Karlsplatz – more colorful, lively, and international than ever! Look forward to groups of artists from all corners of the world presenting their extraordinary talents up close and free of charge. In 2026, you can once again expect a fantastic children’s spectacle from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., so that even our youngest visitors can feel completely at home with us. Be enchanted by magic and illusion, marvel at juggling and acrobatics, enjoy live music and dance, laugh at comedy and pantomime, and immerse yourself in fascinating performance art and theater.
Meanwhile, you can indulge yourself at our diverse food stands – and the kids can experience exciting workshops and lots of fun. As always, the grand finale will be the breathtaking fire shows, which transform Karlsplatz into a spectacular sea of lights and are guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
Come and celebrate with us the return of one of Europe’s most colorful street art festivals!
