Festival passes

Enjoy the blues with ease by purchasing a Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival pass. This year, the festival will offer four levels of passes: Individual Sponsor, Blues Benefactor Pass, Blues Buddy Pass and Four-Day Festival Pass.  Sorry. Blues Benefactor and Buddy Passes are SOLD OUT!

The festival is so popular that it often fills to capacity, and the festival has had to turn away disappointed music fans. The only way to ensure access to the festival is to buy a pass. A pass guarantees admission, even when the festival gates close due to capacity.
