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>

==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.<ref name=webby/>
