The Hampton Blues Festival sits at the heart of Hampton, Virginia's vibrant music scene, evolving from its jazz roots into a broader blues, jazz, soul, and R&B celebration. Officially rebranded in recent years as part of the Hampton Jazz & Music Festival family, the festival has deep ties with the City of Hampton, Hampton University, and The Black Promoters Collective. Each year, the event draws a diverse audience to celebrate heritage, artistry, and community—while showcasing top-tier performers on a multi-day, multi-genre platform at the iconic Hampton Coliseum.
