July 7th-9th 2016

Over the years, Bluesfest has grown to become the landmark event of the Ottawa summer and one of the top-ten music festi- vals in the world, according to Billboard Magazine. The ongoing love affair between the Bluesfest and its fans continues to this day. Clarence Clemons took the stage in 1994 and helped kick off what would become Canada’s fastest growing outdoor music festival. Five thousand people descended on Majors Hill Park that first year, probably not realizing the tradition they were helping to create. Over the past 16 years, more than a million people have tuned in their ears and opened their hearts to some of the biggest names in the music industry. In more recent years, Bluesfest has become the Canadian version of Bonnaroo, Coachella, and/or the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival; all highly regarded tourist attractions and highly popular outdoor music festivals. The festival has grown from a one-stage, three-day event to a multi- staged, two-week music showcase featuring some of the best talent available on the planet.
