A Stunning Venue: Aptos Village Park
The Santa Cruz Blues Festival will be the perfect way to kick-off the summer season in the Santa Cruz and Aptos area. This annual event began twenty-two years ago as a way to celebrate blues music, a uniquely American tradition in a spectacular natural setting. The intimate venue at Aptos Village Park in Aptos, CA could not be better; it’s not every day that you can enjoy world-class music in a natural Redwood amphitheater.

Not only will festival attendees be able to enjoy some world-class blues performances in one of the world’s most beautiful natural arenas, but they will also be able to indulge in local food and drinks. Indulge in BBQ, Asian, Mexican, and New Orleans style food; cool off with a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages including water, smoothies, beer, and wine.
There will also be a merchandise booth for souvenirs as well as opportunity to meet-and-greet the artists and score an autograph. This event is for all ages, and includes a children’s entertainment area featuring face painting and balloon twisting.
Single day tickets and weekend passes are available at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, and at Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz or San Jose. A portion of the festival proceeds will be donated to local charities.
