After having no choice but to cancel last year s event due to the pandemic, the River Basin Blues Fest is back this year and taking place at a new location.
For years, the annual festival had taken place at Burdette Park on Evansville s west side. This year, they re packing up the gear and heading east to Newburgh. Specifically, the outdoor amphitheater at Friedman Park off Oak Grove Road.
The party runs from 1:00 to 9:00 PM this Saturday (July 31st, 2021) and is free to attend. In addition to the live blues music from local and national touring artists, the day will feature a beer garden for anyone 21-and-over who would like to sip on their favorite beer while enjoying the music, as well as a few local food trucks so you can enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the sounds of the blues.
