Destination Blues

On the 16th, 17th, and 18th of February of 2018, Columbia and Montour Counties will again heat up with the 5th annual Destination Blues Music Festival, “your winter blues heaven on Route 11.” Brought to you by the Exchange, and produced by Richard Briggs of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival, "Destination Blues” features international, national, and regional blues performers at multiple venues, as well as bus transportation among the venues and participating hotels.

Headlining this year, Victor Wainwright & The Train! Look at our Facebook page and our Web site for updates on other performers.

Destination Blues could not have happened without the collaboration of two of our area’s longtime blues impresarios: Richard Briggs of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival and Bonnie Tallman of the Billtown Blues Association. Destination Blues has received significant financial support from Montour and Columbia Counties’ Tourism Funds as administered by the Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau. The Exchange thanks the Montour and Columbia County Commissioners for their vision and enthusiasm.

Our sponsors include Columbia and Montour Counties; the Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau and the Susquehanna River Arts for Sunday Gospel; First Columbia Bank as the Young Artist sponsor; Twin Bridges Storage; and Service 1st Federal Credit Union.
