Blues Bash is now Harbour Blues and Roots Festival
Harbour Roots and Blues runs August 25-28, 2022 and features a wide variety of performers not exclusively blues. Please refer to their website for a detailed schedule.
Chemainus Blues Festival
Great news for blues fans! The Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society is really happy to announce that there will be a two-day blues festival in Waterwheel Park, Chemainus (Vancouver Island) on July 2 and 3, 2022. We're working on booking a truly great line-up of musicians to entertain you at the festival. Mark your calendars for July 2 and 3, and don't miss the fun!
If you check other blues festivals, you'll notice that the price of a ticket for one day is usually $55 to $60, and around $120 or so for a weekend pass. That's where we're different. Our festival is located in a public park, and we just ask for a suggested contribution of twenty dollars per adult for each day, or $30 for a weekend pass.
Summer's here and the Victoria Blues Society is not hosting any shows until September.
Check out the various festivals happening this summer up and down the island, and come on down to the Blues Sunday Services blues jam every Sunday at Hermann's upstairs. VBS shows will start again in the fall bringing you some incredible blues performers you will not want to miss!
Nanaimo Summertime Blues Festival August 11-14, 2022
The annual Nanaimo Summertime Blues Festival is back! August 11-14, Muffeo Sutton Park at the inner harbour. Don't miss the stellar line up this year. Get your tickets now.
