It looks like Capitol Centre’s Bluesfest is back.
This time, it’s bigger, better, and badder.
That’s according to the centre, which says the event has now expanded to four days and includes a free movie, an open mic night, an art exhibit and the always popular Blues Cruise.
There are now two full days of outdoor concerts boasting 12 different acts who will be performing the first weekend of September.
Headline acts for this year include Jack de Keyzer and Crystal Shawanda.
“As this is our 5th Annual Bluesfest, we’re really pleased that we were able to secure additional funding this year to help us expand the event into 4 days! ” said Dan Misturada, Interim Executive Director. “We specifically focused on expanding the event in a way that further includes local musicians and artists!”
