Complimentary Admission for Kids


We believe that the joy of live music should be a family affair. To make this experience accessible to everyone, we're excited to offer complimentary admission for children under 10.


Here’s how it works: If your little ones are under 10 at the time of the festival, they can join the fun without the added cost of a ticket. Simply secure their free tickets through Moshtix when you purchase your own, ensuring that your whole family is set to enjoy the event. This initiative reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where families can experience the magic of Bluesfest without worrying about the extra expenses.


Imagine your child’s eyes lighting up at their first live performance, dancing with abandon to their new favorite band, or discovering a love for music that lasts a lifetime—all while you enjoy the music without the stress of additional costs. By offering free tickets for kids, we're making it easier for families to share these priceless moments together.


We understand the importance of family time, and by removing the financial barrier for children under 10, we're inviting families to come and create beautiful memories together. Bluesfest isn’t just about the music—it’s about fostering connections, celebrating together, and making sure every family feels welcome and engaged.

The upgraded Kids Area is designed to provide a joyful, stimulating environment where kids can be kids, while parents relax knowing their little ones are entertained and engaged.


Family Time and Freedom: While the kids dive into their activities, parents can take a breather or enjoy the music, knowing their children are having a great time.
