26th Annual Avila Beach Blues Festival
This is the 26th year for what has been a landmark Central Coast event, the Avila Beach Blues Festival. This year continues the tradition of the biggest and longest running blues festival on the Central Coast, with top name entertainment against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. This is the greatest line-up of talent ever assembled for this festival… we are so proud this year to welcome back LITTLE FEAT as our headliner, on their 50th Anniversary Tour – the last time they visited our festival was in 1999… Eric Burdon & the Animals hold down the middle slot in their debut performance at the festival… and Central Coast favorite Charlie Musselwhite opens the show – the last time Charlie played the festival was in 1997! This is the party that kicks off the outdoor concert season!
