The Old Town BluesFest is a two-day FREE music festival that brings local, regional, and national acts to an audience of roughly 15,000 people from across Michigan and nearby states. BluesFest's music truly is living music, history in the making. Each artist at the festival is asked to play an original composition, something that hasn't been played at any other festival.
2008's BluesFest is scheduled for Friday, September 19 and Saturday, September 20. The festival takes place in the streets of Old Town, surrounded by the best of the Capital City's art galleries as well as unique retail stores and grand architecture. Vendors line the streets offering ethnic food, beverages, art, clothing, and crafts, and nearby galleries and boutiques open their doors during festival hours.
Old Town BluesFest continues to grow thanks to the contributions of its sponsors and volunteers.
This year's sponsors include founding sponsors MessageMakers and WLNZ, presenting sponsors Capital Area Blues Society, Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Adams Outdoor Advertising, Flagstar Bank, City Pulse, Ingham County Hotel/Motel Tax Fund, VanAtta's Greenhouse, City of Lansing, and more!
