Festival Postponed Until 2021

2020 New York State Blues Festival Postponed Until 2021

We know a lot of you have been wondering and we don’t want to keep you waiting any longer. Like many other festival organizers, the New York State Blues Festival has made the difficult decision to postpone its 2020 event until June 24-26, 2021.

We were looking forward to bringing another three days of great music to Clinton Square this year, but as time passes and the dates get closer, we are faced with the reality of current events.

We also understand the toll all of this is taking on our local economy, so we ask that you remember the businesses that have been supportive of the New York State Blues Festival and help however you can. We are extremely grateful to ProAct, who has already committed to full sponsorship of our VIP area for 2021. In addition, we extend our sincere gratitude to County Executive Ryan McMahon, Syracuse City Mayor Ben Walsh, and Syracuse Department of Parks & Recreation for their continued support.

We truly appreciate all of our sponsors, our vendors, and all who have been there for us throughout the years and continue to do so. This is a time for the community to come together and take care of each other and we plan to do our part in making that happen.

Please stay tuned to our social media pages for fun videos and music sharing, as well as other live music shows happening later in the year. We are hard at work making adjustments and looking ahead, so that we may bring you more events in the future and a fantastic festival in 2021 and beyond. We plan to make it well worth the wait!
