The Logan Center Bluesfest is a three-day festival honoring the South Side roots of the blues tradition with conversations & presentations providing unique critical discourse of the blues—alongside a rich roster of headliner concerts, interviews, exhibitions, and more.

Each year, there is a series of performances by musicians and artists that reflect the diverse history of the Blues tradition; a major archiving program to capture the stories of local and national Blues artists; and workshops and educational programming to inspire the next generation of Blues musicians and aficionados.
