The BluestoBop event in Lugano is a must for lovers of blues, jazz and soul music.
This festival, which takes place from 19 to 21 July, transforms the historic city centre of Lugano into an open-air stage with internationally renowned artists and emerging talents. Performances are held in various locations, allowing visitors to enjoy a wide range of shows in a lively and engaging atmosphere.
A BluestoBop-related side event is the Sessa Blues Night on 19 July, another fascinating musical evening held in the picturesque village of Sessa, by the swimming pool. This event offers a more intimate experience than the big event in Lugano, but is no less exciting. The artists who perform at the Sessa Blues Night are often the same ones who take part in BluestoBop, thus guaranteeing excellent musical quality even in this more intimate setting.
Both events are easily accessible by public transport from the Hotel Tresa Bay, located in Ponte Tresa. Thanks to the Ticino Ticket, a free pass offered to tourists staying in hotels in the Canton of Ticino, it is possible to use public transport at no extra cost. This makes it even more convenient and enjoyable to attend events, allowing you to move comfortably between the various locations and enjoy the region’s cultural and musical offerings.
