Myakka River Blues Festival Tickets

The Myakka River Blues Festival is a beloved Venice, Florida event that blends soulful blues with scenic river views along the Myakka River at Snook Haven. Since its emergence around 2011, the festival has grown into a Memorial Day weekend staple, featuring powerful live performances, community vibes, and charitable contributions to Loveland Village and Venice Challenger Baseball. Promoted by Suncoast Blues Society and covered by local outlets, this festival is more than a concert—it's a neighborhood tradition that supports local causes while delivering authentic blues experiences.
