Following the Mermaid Promenade, head over to Plaza Park for our riverside celebration—featuring 100+ artisans, nonprofit organizations, business vendors, delicious food truck options, kid-friendly activities, and a high-energy lineup of live music! Bring your swimsuit, your picnic blankets, your loved ones— and soak in a full day of celebration, music, and community.
We’re thrilled to welcome the legendary Guy Forsyth as the headliner of the Aqua Blues Music & Art Festival, bringing his electrifying energy and powerhouse vocals to the main stage! Joining him is the soul-powered Ace Pepper Group, guaranteed to light up the night with their fiery grooves, and the incomparable Wendy Colonna, whose heartfelt songwriting and velvet voice will stir your soul.
But that’s not all—we’re beyond excited to announce that Blue Water Highway, the beloved local Americana/folk rock band known for their soaring harmonies and magnetic stage presence, will be part of this unforgettable lineup!
Get ready for a rockin’, soulful, feel-good concert experience that’ll have you dancing into the evening and feeling the rhythm of the blues. This is one night you won’t want to miss!
