Locarno Folk

For 11 years, LocarnoFolk has taken you on a journey to countries far and near, with original and quality proposals in the field of popular and world music. Its journey through the Locarno cultural scene - which began in 2012 with the first edition of the LocarnoFolk Festival - will come to an end at the end of the year. 

For its Winter Fest 2022 in Minusio, LocarnoFOLK proposes a musical journey from 20 to 22 October that will take the audience from the Engadin to Sweden, along the shores of Lake Lucerne and through the lands of Klezmer music. 

For its Spring Fest 2022 from 5 to 7 May in Losone, LocarnoFOLK proposes a musical journey from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea and even further to Africa and South America. The programme includes five concerts, one of which offered by the Commune of Losone (free admission), a Greek dances workshop and a documentary film on the Anatolian lute.

On the 100th anniversary of the birth of the father of the Nuevo Tango, LocarnoFOLK also pays tribute to the Argentine master and to the tango. Around Piazzolla is the title of its Winter Fest 2021, a mini-festival that will take place from 11 to 13 November at the Teatro del Gatto in Ascona.
