This year’s event will feature live performances by Hank Shreve Band, Alison Joy Williams, The Joel Astley Band, and Hillstomp, bringing a full day of high-energy blues to the shores of Puget Sound.

“This is the festival that gives back,” organizers said. “One hundred percent of the proceeds support the charitable work of our Rotary Club.”

In addition to the music, attendees can sample a curated lineup of craft beers and ciders from top Northwest breweries including Jellyfish Brewing, Four Generals Brewing, Acorn Brewing, Georgetown Brewing Co., and Stoup Brewing, among many others.

The festival, known for its scenic waterfront setting, lively atmosphere, and strong community focus, is a major fundraiser for the Rotary Club, which supports numerous local and international service projects.
