The story

Bellinzona Blues Festival in Bellinzona

Bellinzona Blues Festival, also called Bellinzona Blues Sessions, brings blues concerts to Bellinzona's compact old town each June, in the shadow of the town's three castles. Public information on individual editions is limited, but the festival follows a small blues-club format: evening sets over one or a few nights featuring local and touring acts. Confirm current details directly with organizers before planning a visit.

Bellinzona Blues Festival, known locally as Bellinzona Blues Sessions, brings a run of blues and blues-adjacent concerts to Bellinzona each June, the same Ticino town known for the three medieval castles that watch over its old town and the valley below.
