More About Blues at the Arch Festival
Get ready to groove—Blues at the Arch Festival returns this summer!
This August, join us in Gateway Arch National Park for a free, weekend-long celebration of St. Louis' rich blues legacy. This year's 11th annual festival features Toronzo Cannon, a modern blues powerhouse with 10 Blues Music Award nominations, alongside fan favorites Tullie Brae and the Soulard Blues Band, plus DJ sets, a fireworks display Saturday night, and family-friendly fun all weekend long.
Beyond the music, explore the history walk, catch interactive Kids Korner programming from The Magic House and City Museum, grab a bite from some of St. Louis' most beloved food trucks, and on Saturday, sit in on "Exploring the BluesPrint," a special panel featuring blues legends Uvee Hayes, Bernie Hayes, Chris Shepherd, and Meaza Joy. Whether you're a lifelong blues fan or just looking for a great way to spend a summer weekend on the riverfront, this is the place to be.
