Corralejo Blues Festival 2019: October 25 & 26th
location: Patricio Calero Square
Corralejo Blues Festival is now a consolidated event, unique in its genre within the cultural scene of Fuerteventura.
The organizer of the event is the Department of Culture of Ayuntamiento of La Oliva, who has announced a mix of Spanish and international artists from all over the globe. The Council of La Oliva is also working along with other authorities in Fuerteventura like the Ministry of Culture of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura and the Government of the Canary Islands (Gobierno de Canarias) in order to ensure the success of the event.
The Blues Festival will take place in the main square of Corralejo - Patricio Calero. On Thursday there will be a prelude for the festival, with a program of blues music on the streets and corners of Corralejo.
Now that this event has reached its 12th edition it has a great level of awareness among locals and visitors as well and there are people who love this style of music and who travel during this time especially to take part in the event.
