 The scenic
vista of the Peoria Riverfront greeted festgoers with some great
blues and 2 entertainment stages! Considered one of the top Blues
Festivals, the 19th Annual Budweiser Illinois Blues Fest featured
2 days of Internationally known Blues Artists, produced by Jay
Goldberg Events and Entertainment with proceeds going to the
Illinois
Blues Coalition.
Located right on the Illinois River, with lots of green space and
great weather, this location makes for a great fest venue! Highlights
were countless, as 2 stages featured the talents of these artists

We suggest you make plans early for this event, as this festival
is hard to surpass. Accomodations are plentiful, we recommend the
Official Fest hotel - Hotel
Pere Marquette. An easy walk from the festgrounds, this historic
hotel adds to the travel experience. Mark your calendar now, for
the 20th Annual Budweiser Illinios Blues Festival,
and tell them STLBlues sent you!
-- Special thanks to Jay, Janell, Ed, and 'Mad Dog' for keeping
the Blues alive!
