Festival Entertainment: This year we have added a NEW Downtown Blue Ridge Blues Crawl on Friday Night, September 21st! Select blues bands will perform at Blue Orleans Bistro, Blue Ridge Brewery, Christy Lee’s Courtyard Grille, The Vine Wine Bar & Bistro and The Whistle Stop Grill with food specials for the true food and music lovers who come to enjoy Blue Ridge early and make it a weekend getaway.
We will feature 5 outstanding and well known Blues Bands at the Festival on Saturday to include EG Kight – Georgia’s Songbird who just returned from a World Tour with BB King – Roger “Hurricane” Wilson, Rollin’ Bones, Frankie’s Blues Mission and Revenge. Celebrity MC’s Jack Morton and Wanda Rowland will be exciting the crowd throughout the entire event, while award-winning photographer Chris Hefferen from Foundry Digital records all of the Festival jubilation on video!
Festival Food and Drinks: Come hungry! The festival will include several local vendors sampling and serving their BBQ style culinary delights. Wash down a late lunch or dinner with a SweetWater Brew or quench your thirst with Iced Tea or Coke sold by the Lodging Association. PLEASE NO COOLERS, PETS, OR SMOKING will be permitted in the festival…
Plan a weekend getaway! Uniquely positioned in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains, Blue Ridge is convenient to numerous outdoor activities and only 90 minutes from Atlanta, GA. Blue Ridge is recognized as an outdoor lover’s paradise with more adventure options than one day or one year could satisfy. September is a great time to bring the music and feast on BBQ from all around the Southeast. Visit our member page to secure lodging and be sure to mention that you are attending the event. Several lodging members will be offering specials and packages for guests attending the festival!
The Blue Ridge Lodging Association in cooperation with the City of Blue Ridge and the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce are excited to invite you to this years event.
