Red Hot Blues & BBQ 2026

Your favorite barbeque-centric blues dance weekend is back!

Featuring local blues legends Robert Lighthouse, Clarence "The Blues Man" Turner, Nella B & the Noise and so much more. We're pulling out all the stops and bringing in amazing national DJs to keep us dancing all weekend long. All dance experience levels welcome!

There are 4 tiers for full weekend attendance- please pay what you are able. Full weekend passes will get you into all of the dances throughout the weekend and the afternoon picnics (Thursday, May 21 - Monday, May 25).

There will also be tickets for individual dances available at the door!

Please Note: The picnics are included in the weekend price, but we need to get an accurate estimate of people we need to feed. You'll need to add a ticket for Saturday or Sunday if you'd like us to feed you on that day. (Cookout or BBQ fare, including Vegan/Vegetarian options).

IMPORTANT: If you plan on eating any food at the picnics or at late night, and have any food allergies or dietary restrictions that we need to be aware of, click here to let us know

If you have questions or would like to talk to us in detail about volunteering, housing, or food, please reach out to Capital Blues at capitalblues.info@gmail.com.
