Four days of free concerts and insights.
Blues to Bop has been the festival celebrating the blues in Lugano since 1989. Originating from an earlier jazz event, New Orleans in Lugano, it offers a wide selection of concerts each summer featuring local and international artists in the city's squares. These spaces become not only performance venues, but also opportunities for discovery through in-depth sessions with the artists.
