== Biography ==
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.<ref name=visitnorway/>


==Guests==
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.<ref name=visitnorway/><ref name=webby>{{cite web |url=http://festivaler.webby.no/?obj=422 |title=Canal Street Blues Festival - Festivaler: Jazz og Blues i Arendal |language=Norwegian |publisher=Festivaler.Webby.no |accessdate=2015-04-24}}</ref>
