Bud Light Ferndale Blues Festival

January 29 to February 6 Get your Blues on! The Ferndale Metro Blues Festival has been a hugely popular and wildly successful event. In fact, it was an official sanctioned event of Super Bowl XL in 2006. The Ferndale Metro Blues Festival averages more than 60 concerts held over nine days at two dozen locations in the region.

Blues Festival History In 2001, a group of volunteers got together in Ferndale Michigan to organize a city-wide Blues Festival to raise money for charity. Clubs, restaurants, and bars in downtown Ferndale were invited to host live blues concerts during a weekend in January 2002, donating cover charges and raising funds through raffles and sponsorships.

Bud Light Blues Festival Has Raised Over $20,000 For Local Charities Tens of thousands of persons attend our various concerts and events and hundreds of thousands of persons are exposed to our media coverage and promotional materials.

Clock Tower Ad We are now featured on the Clock Tower just north of I-696 on the East side of Woodward! Drive by and see for yourself. Our favorite volunteer, McPiggy would love to see you all! There are a couple ads featuring one of our sponsors, Fresard, scrolling through on the tower. So if you don't see the Blues ad right away, stick around for 10 or 20 seconds and it'll show up!
