More than a festival, Open Air Blues Festival Brezoi is a place where music brings people together. Every July, thousands of blues lovers from across the world gather in the heart of Romania for six unforgettable days of live music, nature, friendship, and freedom.
Nestled in the spectacular Lotru Valley, Brezoi offers a festival experience unlike any other. Here, world-class concerts meet breathtaking landscapes, creating the perfect destination for music lovers of every generation.
During the day, the festival is about much more than concerts. Relax by the crystal-clear Lotru River, which flows through the festival grounds, discover mountain trails and nearby waterfalls, enjoy food and local specialties, or take part in exhibitions, cultural activities, games, and experiences created together with our partners. Whether you're coming with friends or family, Brezoi offers a true summer holiday surrounded by nature.
When the sun goes down, the music takes over. Across three unique stages, internationally acclaimed artists celebrate every shade of the blues, while the legendary late-night jam sessions keep the spirit alive until sunrise.
