The Blues Festival of Music and Literature, Dal Mississippi al Po, has gained worldwide recognition. Around 300 foreign guests, including artists and talents, have come to Piacenza and its province from all over the world. They have combined literature, journalism, art, and music in a perfect way.
The Dal Mississippi al Po Festival is held in Piacenza and surrounding river areas, bringing together blues music, stories, dinners, aperitifs, and literary events. The festival creates a connection with the locations where the blues originated and evolved, blending music and literature to celebrate the landscape.
To expand the festival this winter, a new initiative called "Percorsi d'acqua" has been introduced. It's a journey along the river that begins in Piacenza and extends to neighboring territories, including Parma, Reggio Emilia, and Modena. Small theater venues will be used as locations for the event.
The Dal Mississippi al Po Festival has a jam-packed schedule of events this year featuring amazing guests in music and theater. The festival has previously welcomed talented performers such as Modena City Ramblers, The War and Treaty, and Max Angioni. Get ready for even more incredible acts to hit the stage this year in Piacenza and its province!
