Roots N Blues Festival 2021
The 2021 Roots N Blues Festival is moving forward and the lineup is 95% set! We’re sending our sincerest thanks and gratitude for your continued support throughout the past many months of uncertainty. We continue to hold the public’s health and safety as the highest priority. We’re working closely with Boone County Health Department and local health officials to ensure a safe and successful 2021 Roots N Blues Festival. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccination. We can’t wait to see you at Stephens Lake Park September 24-26, 2021.
What were we up to in 2020?
The Roots N Blues Festival experienced a complete halt in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year presents the opportunity to safely return to Stephens Lake Park.
Due to a reduced capacity, increased cost for enhanced public health measures, and the slow return of the industry, Friends of the Festival was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to sustaining the Roots N Blues Festival.
