Come celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Bentonia Blues Festival in 2025!

The event will feature food and merchandise vendors, RV, and tent camping (fees may apply), live music, and more. The Bentonia Blues Festival is a unique down-home style festival that runs on juke joint time just like the historic and authentic oldest juke joint in daily operation, the Blue Front Cafe… In other words, times and order of performances are bound to change a bit. Relax and have a great time with us as we help to keep the Bentonia blues alive!
