Without a doubt the best fest Windsor has to offer. Something for everyone at this fest and very well run. Not to be missed if making plans to visit our city. Incredible atmosphere and nonstop live music. When a band on main stage is done a set people go to beer tent and hear more live music by local bands and enjoy non stop live music all day. Incredible lineup of national acts and great vendors.
Had a great time, thinking of coming back next year, I met people from all over, BC, Michigan, Indiana all over, the best person I really wanted to see again was my gal Athena from Exwives of Rock and Athenaroma's she has the greatest candles ever, thanks Athena hope to see you again really soon and a big hello to Pat and SugarRay, Thank you Windsor been a very long time since I was last there 30 plus years
absolute best shows Colin James, Sugar Ray ford, United snakes and Slim. note for next year Ladies need much better services in the bathroom facilities toilet paper gone as of 7pm saturday night
no water fountains in site and purses checked to make sure you were not bringing your own in, $6.00 for a small bottle of water come on!!!!
Last year was awesome!!!, also Walkerville brew was good stuff!!, music and atmosphere outdoors in historic area of Windsor. Almost missed the train to connect to flight to Iceland, but well worth it!
Well Well Done.
The demographic was perfect.
The atmosphere was great!
As a constant live and local supporter, Sunday Nights Event was tip top.
Congratulations

You are able to experience the talent of many performers/musicians at one venue, love the ambience!
What a lineup! Attending 10000%
Whoever put this year's performers list together is doing a great job at pleasing the crowd!
Kudos to the organiser's of this years event! Was there Thursday and Saturday nights. Well run - well organised and the acts killed it. I LOVE this event and look forward to it every year. The stamp allowing people to leave and come back as well as the removal of tables from the General Admission area were both welcomed revisions to last year. My personal highlight were the Sheepdogs on Saturday. Just amazing. Also - guitar pics for beer tickets - great idea! Can't ask for a better venue when Mother Nature is cooperating like she was this weekend. Thanks guys - look forward to next year already! :)
This was the 5th #musicfest we attended this summer and WOW attention to detail right down to the drink "tickets" they were actually guitar pics
Security and staff were extremely helpful and kind
A "community vibe " with some of the best performances I've seen in a while
*** the grounds of this festival was dry unlike the rest of southern Ontario
Can't wait for 2018
Awesome time at bluesfest this year. Bluesfest made a big mistake last year by eliminating close up tables for the regular ticket passes and making them vip. They learned their lesson. This is a great event and like usual good old windsor people are overly bitter. Hopefully we dont lose this event. If we do it will be many years before it comes back. Just like every person, the organizers of bluesfest are not perfect. They learned their lesson so get off your high horses windsorites. Lets keep this event.
the setup was terrible the first third of the venue was VIP could not even get close to the stage. The people in VIP were not even getting out of thier seats. The bands even had to plead with them to get up and dance. The people who wanted to get to the front and cheer on the acts had to stand half way back in the venue. This is suppose to be a community event but seemed to segregate people, heard alot of complaints about the setup. I feel sorry for people who came from out of town for this disappointment. Talked to out of towners who were upset cause they paid for hotels also, big buck weekend for them.
Absolutely loved it !
What an amazing event this has transformed into -
Much better community minded support staff and killer food on top of the amazing music!
Great job!!!
Hands down the best music festival in this area! Fantastic Artist lineup, food vendors, amazing venue and wonderful community support. Definitely a top shelf event!
I think Stu Heydon is the type of blues act that give the audience all they could ask for and more. Please bring more acts like the Stu Heydon blues band. Real blues!
We had a good time but increasing ticket prices and charging $6 for small cans of beer when they were kings cans last year is price gouging. This will drive people away from returning.
This was by far the best Bluesfest I have attended in years and I have been going for 21 years. Thank you Carol and Rob Petroni, Bill Moreland, Jeff Burrows and all the other wonderful volunteers. You guys ROCK!!! The bands were awesome. Can't wait until next year
I only wish you could get stamped to leave and come back in! we like to spend the whole day and night but a little break would be nice
