Blues, soul and jazz among the UNESCO peaks: the Cadore stop of the festival in Zoppè
About Dolomiti Blues & Soul
Music among the Dolomite peaks
The Dolomiti Blues & Soul Festival is a travelling event that for over twenty years has brought blues, soul, and jazz to the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 25th edition takes place throughout the summer, from July 18 to August 23, visiting numerous villages in Cadore and Ampezzano: from Pieve di Cadore to San Vito, from Borca to Cortina d'Ampezzo, and even Belluno.
Among these stops is also Zoppè di Cadore (province of Belluno), one of the smallest and most picturesque villages in the valley, at the foot of Monte Pelmo. On August 2, 2026, in Piazza Masi Simonetti, the Gloria Illesi Trio will perform a concert, described by the organizers as "an essential and direct journey through jazz, soul, and Italian singer-songwriters".
Like most of the festival's events, the concert in Zoppè has a free, conscious donation entry: a formula that makes great music accessible to everyone, set against a backdrop of rare natural beauty. It's an opportunity to combine live music with the unique atmosphere of an alpine village in Cadore.
