The festival has definitely proven to be a success. I actually have businesses approaching me inquiring about sponsorships, instead of me chasing them across the parking lot. (Not really, but sometimes it feels that way). Despite our desperate situation, I have a good feeling about this year’s festival.
Since its inception, Jackson has embraced this event and It would be a shame to see it go away. There is no greater thrill for me than to see something that I believe in so much bring pleasure to so many Blues fans.
Tom and I work all year long raising funds, designing posters, designing t-shirts, hiring bands, arts and craft exhibitors and food vendors. The first day of the event when the crowd starts showing is our reward. So please make plans to attend, we need you.
Check this website often for a current list of bands and last minute changes.

      2006 brought Jackson's fifth annual Blues Festival. It was again held at the Jackson County Airport. The first year (2002) it was held at Kuhl's Bell Tower parking lot and attracted over 1700 attendees. We needed more space and so we moved the 2003 festival to the Jackson County Fairgrounds where we had about 4000 blues fans come out, even though it was still taking place in a parking lot on asphalt. Although the Fairgrounds raised our rent substantially, we decided to hold 2004's festival at the fairgrounds in an effort to establish some continuity. 2004's event brought in 13,000 plus and was a big success. In 2005, the Jackson County Fairgrounds chose to more than double the rent again, even though our previous year went smoothly with no negative incidents and we left the grounds spotless and paid all our bills promptly. Sadly, We realized that we had to move the festival and it took some searching but we finally found a great location at the Jackson County Airport; on a grassy lawn! It worked out beautifully. 2005's attendance surpassed 20,000 and in 2006 the numbers again jumped significantly. The airport has been very accommodating and is making us feel welcome like no other venue has before now. We want to thank local businesses who contribute by taking out ad space in the festival program which is distributed to concert goers. These programs are most often kept as souvenirs and so the ads have an extended lifespan and circulation.
