Two festivals, an All-Star Blues Brunch, Blues based workshops and the St. Louis Blues Awards make up the programming for this incredible celebration of musical history. AUG 25 BLUES SOCIETY COCKTAIL RECEPTION The 2010 BLUESWEEK FESTIVAL drew over 10,000 music lovers from the St. Louis region and beyond. With our new media partnerships and from the buzz created by last year’s event, we are expecting attendance to approach 20,000 in 2011. The Festival will take place August 26 & 27, outdoors in beautiful downtown St. Louis at 6th & Washington Avenue. The location is like no other, as the stage will be positioned just outside the future home of the National Blues Museum. For more info on the museum visit NationalBluesMuseum.org National sponsors, food vendors, local businesses and various Blues related organizations will fill the grounds creating a festive atmosphere. Between the bookend festivals, BLUESWEEK keeps the excitement alive by hosting multiple entertainment & educationally driven events. Each featuring the most respected St. Louis Blues community figureheads doing what they do best.
