Blues at Bridgetown is more than a music festival – it’s a community legacy. Since its founding in 1993, this beloved event has been driven by the passion and dedication of volunteers, local community groups, businesses, and supporters who bring it to life year after year. This isn’t just a festival that happens to be in Bridgetown – Bridgetown proudly presents Blues at Bridgetown. That distinction matters. It’s what makes this event so special.Set against the stunning backdrop of the Blackwood River Valley, the Festival blends soulful music, rich history, and small-town hospitality into something truly unforgettable. Ray Purvis captured it beautifully in Rhythms Magazine back in 1996:
“Set in the magnificent surrounds of the Blackwood River Valley, the fourth annual Blues At Bridgetown festival will once again live up to the boast of ‘Fine Blues… Breathtaking Views.’ W.A.’s original blues festival this year turns the spotlight on acoustic and traditional blues.”
Now, in 2025, we celebrate 33 years of this iconic festival – a rare feat in a world where so many events have come and gone. Blues at Bridgetown has evolved into a world-class music experience and a cornerstone of regional WA’s cultural calendar. It showcases not just outstanding blues, roots and associated genres, but also the charm and spirit of Bridgetown itself.
