The Edmonton Blues Festival (formerly Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival) is an annual blues music festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which was first held in 1999.[1] The festival runs for three days (a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in mid-August at the Heritage Amphitheatre in Hawrelak Park. In 2008, the festival was the recipient of the 'Keeping The Blues Alive Award'[2] from the Blues Foundation, based in Memphis, Tennessee. Due to renovations that will close Hawrelak Park until 2026,[3] the festival is moving to Edmonton's RE/MAX Field.[4]
