'''Canal Street''' is a yearly music festival in [[Arendal]], Aust-Agder, Norway.<ref name="visitnorway">{{cite web |title=Canal Street - Arendal music festival |url=https://www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/southern-norway/arendal/event-arendal/canal-street-arendal-music-festival/65/ |website=www.visitnorway.com |accessdate=10 December 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
The festival is known for its use of unusual venues where interesting surroundings go hand in hand with musical experiences. Jazz at the Lighthouse at [[lille Torungen fyr]], bathing blues & swimming jazz in [[Merdø]] Uthavn, bohemian jazz at [[Kolbjørnsvik]] and ”Føling på fyllinga” at the local waste dump, Heftingsdalen, are some of the examples.


The festival was first presented in 1996 as Arendal Jazz & Blues Festival, but in the later years it has grown to emphasize quality music of all genres.
Canal Street is one of few Norwegian festivals that feature both [[jazz]] and [[blues]] as main genres. This gives a great opportunity to show two genres that historically are closely connected, and thereby you can enjoy all the excitement from featuring the two genres. And, we also include rock and world music.

== The Name ==
Once upon a time Arendal was a town of canals. However, what was once seen as "progress" required that these canals be filled up, and so they disappeared. One of the remains from the canal era is Canal Place, now one of the main venues of the festival.
