Each year since 1995, some of the biggest names in blues music have taken the stage at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida. Blues enthusiasts from all over the world come to scenic Vinoy Park to watch this spectacular showcase of American Blues music, performed right on the waterfront. With acres of plush grass and palm trees, Vinoy Park is the perfect tropical setting for one of the world’s biggest and best blues concerts.

The Blues Music Festival is an ideal setting to enjoy Florida's sunshine and warm spring weather. For guests seeking an enhanced festival experience, we offer a special VIP Package with "front" stage seating, a large VIP tent with free food, beer and soda, and beautiful views of Tampa Bay.

Throughout the festival grounds, you will enjoy tasty food, including seafood, barbeque, Cuban cuisine, and other culinary treats. Festival vendors also include arts & crafts. Premium beer, wine, and mixed drinks are also available.

The Tampa Bay Blues Festival prides itself on providing the very best in live blues entertainment, in an ideal tropical setting. Proceeds from the event benefit our charity partner, Pinellas Association for Retarded Children. Please make your plans to attend the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, and join us for three great days of Blues by the Bay!
