NOA 74 – Snapshots from Bluesfest

Bluesfest is a multi-stage 10 day music festival. The location is LeBretton Flats.  Blues is the nominal theme, but essentially this is a festival with a wide range – last night’s main stage theme was Country.  The festival is a well organized, well oiled machine with a big volunteer component.  It is now in its 25th year.
