Our Story
The Cincy Blues Fest has been our cornerstone event of the summer. This year, we celebrate the 27th Cincy Blues Fest. We started out with humble beginnings in with our first fest in Music Hall’s Topper Ballroom. In 1994, we moved the fest to Sawyer Point Park, and this year will be our first year at the Schmidlapp Event Lawn in Smale Park.
In our history, the fest has featured outstanding national acts such as Tab Benoit, Walter Trout, Pigmeat Jarrett, Watermelon Slim, Ana Popovic, John Nemeth, Nick Moss, Teeny Tucker, John Primer, Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials, Bobby Rush, Blind Boys of Mississippi, Kenny Neal, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Samantha Fish and many, many others.
The mission of the Cincy Blues Society is to “Keep the Blues Alive” and we are excited to bring the international performing act, the Blues Beatles. Please join us for an amazing day of great music and fun.
