We are expanding the 2012 event to three days, adding gospel blues to our current blues, jazz and zydeco music format. We will be bringing in 18 national and international acts for our festival. Estimated attendance over three days is set at 24,000. As in years past, mental health services will be on-site with information on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and family financial planning, among other areas of concern to military families. In addition, we will be offering a blues brunch on Saturday morning with acoustic blues. Other related events will be announced upon confirmation.
