Overview

About

Running since 2001 on the banks of the Ohio River at Wheeling Heritage Port in West Virginia, Heritage Music BluesFest has grown into one of the country's notable blues gatherings. Across two stages it brings together blues, jazz and roots music, with a lineup that has expanded in recent years to include genres like hip-hop. The festival is the only West Virginia event to receive the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive award.
