From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Long Beach Blues Festival, in Long Beach, California, United States, was established fully in 1980,[1] and was one of the largest blues festivals and was the second oldest on the West Coast (first being the San Francisco Blues Festival). It was held on Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend.[2] For many years it was held on the athletic field on the California State University, Long Beach campus. The 2009 festival, the 30th annual, was held at Rainbow Lagoon in downtown Long Beach.[3] The Festival went on hiatus in 2010, and has not been held since.
