Come and join us for two days of top notch entertainment at Fairfield's Village Green Park, just north of Cincinnati. Once again, Cincy Blues Society and Fairfield Parks and Recreation have teamed up to present a stellar lineup of Award Winning National and International Blues Artists. 

Experience the power and soulful emotion of blues music in a beautiful outdoor park setting. There are plenty of grassy and shady areas to enjoy the Fest. In other words, be prepared to get your groove on and boogie!

Food and drink vendors will be available with a variety of great food, beer, and drinks. The park is in a DORA area.

The Cincy Blues Fest is a family friendly event. The park has a playground and new this year, will be a KIDS ZONE with fun and games for our smaller blues fans.

Please no tents, umbrellas or pets. Small coolers only (please support the food and drink vendors). You're welcome to bring your own chairs or blankets.
