We understand that the two days of the Bonita Blues Festival just aren't enough. So again this year we will be continuing the tradition of Special After Hours Parties, after the Festival. And even better, the parties are still offered for no cover charge!!

Party Details

Thank You Blues Fans

I am very proud to say on behalf of the Bonita Blues Charitable Foundation, that the 2012 Bonita Blues Festival was by far the most financially productive festival since its conception in 2007.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors including the City of Bonita Springs, the musicians, the volunteers, our vendors, all the advertisers in our program; tech-tronics for always having the best sound; and especially the complete committee that gives up so much of their time and energy to put this show together.

$18,000 Raised

We were able to give away $18,000 to our charities that include The Bonita Springs Assistance Office, The Music for Minors Program, The Music Therapy Program at the Children's Hospital and The Wounded Warriors Project. I have thanked a lot of people but I saved one group of people so that they would get a special thank you and that goes out to all the attendees. You came from SW Florida and the surrounding area plus you traveled in from around the country and the world. All of us at the Bonita Blues Charitable Foundation started this event to try to create a quality Blues music show in a quality city with quality people and so far, thanks to all of you, it is happening! 

Many Thanks

We would like to thank all blues society's around the world for keeping the blues alive but special mention needs to go out to the South Florida Blues Society, a great group of people that searched us out when we started this festival, not only show support for the festival but to become great friends in the process. To the Sun Coast Blues Society and the growing friendship with our little festival and I would not be doing my local duty if I do not mention the SW Florida Blues Society, our local blues society which is a young and growing Blues Society. Please go to our website and join at www.SWFBS.org. and help us keep the BLUES a-live.

Thank you all for a great festival!
