The first international blues festival took place in the spring of 2005, and since then it is organized annually in the beautiful city of Sighișoara, due to the success of previous editions, and the growing interest in blues of the inhabitants of this old city, founded by German emigrants, more than nine hundred years ago.
Sighișoara or Schäßburg, as it is called in the language of the Saxon emigrants, is also known as the "Pearl of Transylvania", one of the most fascinating medieval cities, a true monument of history and culture, due to its beautiful fortress.
The festival aims to promote the blues, a musical genre that, nationally, does not have many representatives, however, luring a large audience every time, through the famous names that will be headliner.
In this musical journey, participants will enjoy concerts with highly regarded and internationally known artists. It is the only prestigious cultural event of this kind in the country and takes place in the Performance Hall of the House of Culture "Mihai Eminescu".
Sighișoara Blues Festival is organized by the Sighișoara Blues Hospital Cultural Association in partnership with Sighișoara City Hall.
