Get ready to groove as the City of Fort Bragg hosts its first-ever Fort Bragg Blues Festival, May 2-4, 2025. This three-day event will bring both notable and budding blues musicians to the heart of downtown, promising a weekend of soulful tunes, delicious food, and coastal charm. The festival opens on one of our popular ‘First Friday’s’ when shops and galleries stay open late and the streets are filled with visitors and locals alike!
This festival hosts eight rockin’ bands and you can see the inspiring lineup below. Friday and Saturday performances are walkable to the CBD while Sunday’s event (Lazy Sunday: Food Trucks, Brews & Blues) is outdoors at our CV Starr Community Center, so don’t forget your lounge chairs!
Tickets include an All-Access Pass (grants access to all but the VIP Event + early entry + logo’ed merch + swag!) with an early bird ticket price of only $200 from Feb. 14th to March 8th. (inventory is limited; price jumps to $240 after March 8th) to individual tickets for each performance ranging from $35-$85.
