The Fargo Blues Festival is a 2-day, 12-band blues explosion that features worldclass bands, great food, and plenty of ice cold brews. Held on the grass of a 1st class baseball stadium. Camping is within walking distance.
Delbert McClinton, John Mayall, Keb' Mo', The Fabulous Thunderbirds,Charlie Musselwhite, Roomful Of Blues, Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers), Double Trouble, Johnny Winter, RL Burnside, & Pinetop Perkins are just a few bands that have graced our stage. Fargo native Jonny Lang played here before he was a superstar and Shannon Curfman once opened the show, only to return to her hometown as a headliner two years later! All in all, over 25 Grammy Award winning /nominated bands, 2 members of the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, and dozens of WC Handy Award winners have performed on our stage.
The Blues Fest has received national exposure and has been recognized as one of the best blues fests in the country. Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood Blues) has twice given it a thumbs up on his nationally syndicated House of Blues Radio hour.
Don't miss the Winter version of our blues fest held every February at the American Legion Ballroom!.
