Canal Street is a yearly music festival in Arendal, Aust-Agder, Norway.[1]
The festival was first presented in 1996 as Arendal Jazz & Blues Festival, but in the later years is has grown to emphasize quality music of all genres.
History
The festival is known for its use of unusual venues, such as Jazz at the Lille Torungen Lighthouse, Merdø Uthavn, Kolbjørnsvik and "Føling på fyllinga" at the local waste dump, Heftingsdalen.[1]
Canal Street was for a long time one of few Norwegian festivals in which jazz and blues are the main genres, though rock and world music where performed as well.[1][2]
Arendal was a town of canals. One of the remains from the canal era is Canal Place, for many years one of the main venues of the festival.[2]
Canal Street was certified as a "green venue" in 2006 as one of the first festivals in Norway. Canal Street joined the UN's Carbon Neutral Network and supported Earth Hour 2009.[3]
