Blues evenings in the historic center of Cannero Riviera, on Lake Maggiore
About Lunedì Blues
Blues evenings on Lake Maggiore
Lunedì Blues is the summer music festival that, every Monday in July, enlivens the historic center of Cannero Riviera, a small village overlooking Lake Maggiore in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, in Piedmont. For four evenings, the historic Via Massimo D'Azeglio turns into a widespread stage: five live music stations distributed throughout the village alleys accompany residents and visitors on a sound walk with an unmistakable flavor—that of the blues.
Walking in the Blues
The heart of the event is the concept of "Walking in the Blues": not a single concert, but a musical journey that invites the public to move from one station to another, sitting in the bars and restaurants of the historic center to enjoy an aperitif or dinner with live music as a soundtrack. The artistic direction is entrusted to Giorgio Fassi, who curates the selection of musicians and the organization of the various stages along the street each year.
Music, markets, and lakeside atmosphere
On the same evenings, a market of hobbyists and artisans takes place on the Lungolago delle Magnolie, completing the experience: between one note and the next, it is possible to stroll along the lake, browse the stalls, and breathe in the relaxed atmosphere of one of the most evocative locations in the Verbano area. The natural setting of Lake Maggiore, with its waters and the famous Castelli di Cannero standing just offshore, makes every evening an opportunity to experience the village in its most vibrant form.
An event for everyone
Admission is free, making Lunedì Blues a proposal suitable for families, couples, and groups of friends. The event is organized by Pro Cannero Riviera in collaboration with local merchants and has become a fixed appointment of the summer in Cannero, capable of attracting music lovers and tourists vacationing on Lake Maggiore.
