Blues artists and ribbers from across North America will be taking over the Calabogie mountainside for a weekend of all things blues!

Just as they did last year, Calabogie Peaks Resort and 101.9 DAWG FM are working together to make the weekend fun for families and people of all ages. There will be a beer garden, vendor’s area, kids’ zone and back for the 2012 festival – a campsite on the festival grounds at the foot of the mountain.

Details will be announced as they become available on the newly launched website, calabogieblues.com. This years band lineup is Trevor Finlay, Shakira S'Aida, Jack de Keyzer, Bob Walsh and Guy Belanger, Bill Durst, JW-Jones and finally the legendary Downchild Blues Band & Powder Blues Band.

A portion of proceeds from the event will go to local and national charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Blues in Schools.
