The Bradenton Blues Festival was an annual blues music weekend produced by the nonprofit Realize Bradenton in Bradenton, Florida, on Florida's west coast near Sarasota. Historically held in late November or early December, it paired a free Blues Appetizer concert with a ticketed main festival day featuring national blues acts, craft beer, and specialty food vendors.
Its focused music identity and riverfront setting make it a solid regional row.
The festival built its identity around a three-part weekend structure: a free Friday-night Blues Appetizer concert produced by Mojoe Productions, a Saturday main festival with a headline blues lineup presented by a bank sponsor, and a Sunday Blues Brunch prepared by an award-winning local chef, giving the event a distinct food-and-music pairing beyond a standard single-day concert
The festival continued the tradition of American regional blues festivals pairing touring national acts with local craft food and beverage culture
produced as a fundraiser by the Bradenton-area nonprofit Realize Bradenton
