Enjoying The Blues Festival North Carolina

By Ann Jordan


The Blues Festival North Carolina is more than just one annual event that is enjoyed throughout the entire state. It is a series of different events that take place all across the state. It is a time of coming together to celebrate the common bond of good music, good food, and cultural events.

All throughout the year different locations throughout the state will sponsor activities and events that will tie into the festival theme. People will come from far and near to participate in the festivities.

All over the state celebrations are held, and the best that the state has to offer in this kind of music comes out to play and jam for the people. This music like this is not the only form of expression. They also have bluegrass, folk, and country music.

The first stop on the journey is the one held in Wilmington, N. C. Called the Cape Fear festival. This historic three day event features jam sessions, food, and a cruise down the riverfront in downtown Wilmington. It takes place in the third week of July and it is free to the public.

In the beginning of May Piedmont has its annual Carolina Blues celebration. It is located in Greensboro and held at the festival hall. They even set up a music area for the kids to have fun dancing. However, there is a charge for admission. If visitors pay in ahead of time it is 18.00, but if they wait until same day it is held, then the price is 30.00.

Bands are the specialty of the Rowan Blues Festival in Salisbury. They sell copies of the music if anyone is interested. They have found a way to bring the two sounds of jazz and blues together in a harmonious way. This event attracts quite a few musicians from around the area. Some of the bands they have cater to swing music as well as other styles.

Go online to get all of the best information about this statewide yearlong celebration. What people will find there is a completed lost of what will be going on during the year.

Be sure to call in advance to get the best deals for the best accommodations. Waiting to long may to book a hotel room could be disastrous. Many people will be comming from all over the state to participate in all of the things that will be happening.
