KING BISCUIT BLUES FESTIVAL

Getting ready for the Biscuit!

Tom and I stopped by the King Biscuit Blues Festival office, 319 Phillips St., Helena, AR and the staff were getting ready for the festival that runs Oct. 8-11, 2014. It was great to see Linda, Jo and Joann all working hard to make sure we all have a great time. You need to stop by the office during the festival since they have some great merchandise (variety of must have souvenirs including some amazing t-shirts). Hope to see you there.

Informació general

The King Biscuit Blues Festival, is one of the nation’s foremost showcases of blues music. Held for three days annually in October, tens of thousands of blues enthusiasts converge on historic downtown Helena, AR to hear stirring and uplifting performances of an American art form on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Founded in 1986, the first festival was a one-day event, with a small gathering of local residents and a flatbed truck as a stage. Since then, the festival has grown to a three-day event, with a Main Stage and three other stages and several activities, such as the Kenneth Freemyer 5K Run, the Blues in Schools program, and the Blues Symposium. The 29th annual King Biscuit Blues Festival will be held October 8-11, 2014 in historic downtown Helena.
