About Trasimeno Blues
The travelling blues of Lake Trasimeno
The Trasimeno Blues Festival is a travelling event that has enlivened the villages overlooking Lake Trasimeno, in the province of Perugia, every summer since 1989. Organized by Onda Road, it is considered one of the most important blues festivals in Italy and Europe, capable of bringing international calibre artists to Umbria.
Passignano, a stop on the festival
Among the locations involved, Passignano sul Trasimeno hosts one of the most anticipated stops. Concerts are held in evocative outdoor spaces such as Parco del Pidocchietto and in the historic center of the village, offering evenings of music with the lake as a backdrop. The festival is distinguished by its widespread format, which intertwines big names in blues, soul, and African-American music with cultural moments, book presentations, and side events.
A festival between music and territory
In addition to Passignano, the Trasimeno Blues touches Castiglione del Lago, with concerts at the medieval fortress, Tuoro sul Trasimeno, and Panicale. Performances range from main stages to midnight concerts on the dock, to shows in the squares. It's an opportunity to discover the Trasimeno area during the summer, combining great music with the discovery of Umbrian villages.
