Event organizer Brian Snure said Rotarians usually hope for sun on the festival weekend each year, but when rain appeared in the forecast, it was a welcome sign.
“We’ve all been watching the devastating fires, and we can’t be upset about rain since it is so sorely needed right now in Washington,” Snure said. “We are pleased to be able to make this donation and are confident that many people will come out to attend Blues & Brews in the rain! Folks 21 and older are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, umbrellas and their best pair of beer-drinking shoes.”
The festival will go on – RAIN OR SHINE – this Saturday, Aug. 29 from Noon to 8:00 p.m. at Des Moines Beach Park!
The event will also raise funds for Highline Music4Life, a program that provides musical instruments to children in Highline Public Schools who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
Four world-renowned Seattle-area blues acts will take the stage:
Brian Lee & the Orbiters
Rafael Tranquilino Band
The Stacy Jones Band
The CD Woodbury Band
Nineteen local breweries will have craft beer on tap. Hard cider and wine will also be featured. Barbequed tri-tip and other beer-friendly foods will be available for purchase.
Last year’s event saw record breaking attendance, with over 1,600 people from across the Northwest and Canada coming to enjoy world-class blues and dozens of tasty craft brews.
Des Moines Beach Park is located at 22030 Cliff Ave S. in Des Moines (map below):
