Once again we welcome blues lovers from all over to our friendly little festival that takes place during the first weekend in August. We've got a new name (formerly the Mudcat Bluesfest) but the philosophy and attitude has not changed, in fact we think we've improved on it.

Over the course of the weekend you will get to see and hear some incredible music played by some amazing musicians and all in an intimate and cosy environment. There are no large outdoor stages that distance the communication between audience and performer. There are no private backstage areas that separates the musicians from the music lovers.

At the SouthCoast Bluesfest there are no barriers....and in exchange for your attentiveness and entheusiasm, the performers continue to play their hearts out. These players are also music fans like yourselves, so they are more than happy to meet you and talk about "life".

So, enjoy the town, enjoy the music, and help keep the "blues" alive by supporting these wonderful Canadian musicians.
