The third annual Bluesberry Music + Art Festival will take place in Covington’s Bogue Falaya Park on Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 11:30AM to 9PM with a lineup of regional and national talent on the Westaff Music Stage.
Headlining this full-day celebration of blues music and the arts is award-winning blues artist and Kansas City native Samantha Fish. Over the years, Fish has maintained her reputation as a phenomenal live act, drawing large crowds and repeatedly turning out critically acclaimed albums and an ever-growing list of accolades.
Other featured performances include The Band of Heathens from Austin, TX, a crowd favorite from Bluesberry’s 2021 festival; Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductee and Guitar Center’s 2011 “King of the Blues” winner Jonathon “Boogie” Long; Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductee and local favorite J.J. Muggler Band; and Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jake Gunter.
Local and regional songwriters will also perform on the Ozone Songwriters Stage in the park pavilion this year.
The festival will also feature a food truck roundup with local cuisine from mobile eateries like Pyre BBQ, Brazilian Bites, Rue Chow, Coffee Rani, YumYum Gimme Sum, Isabella’s Pizzeria and more. Each will serve up their signature dishes, but also put a blueberry spin on some old favorites.
One of the biggest changes this year is that the festival, which was formerly held during the day and concluded at dusk, will begin at mid-day and extend into the evening, bringing a new dynamic as well as some exciting lighting elements to the festival experience.
