ABOUT
WHAT IS THE BATON ROUGE BLUES FESTIVAL & FOUNDATION?
We are a non-profit set to preserve and propel the swamp blues in our community and to a wider audience. Our foundation works to support emerging artists, international blues legends, and everyone in between. Our largest project is the Baton Rouge Blues Festival.
The Baton Rouge Blues Festival is in downtown Baton Rouge, surrounding North Boulevard from 5th Street to Lafayette Street. The festival is free to attend and family friendly.
