Why We Host BluesFest

Disability affects every community. Many of us have a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or loved one who has been impacted by a disability.

BluesFest is more than a music festival. It is an opportunity to bring people together, raise awareness, and support programs that help individuals with disabilities live with greater independence, confidence, and choice.

Funds raised through BluesFest help support the work of Disabled Resource Services, including peer support, advocacy, independent living services, resource navigation, and access to community programs and equipment.

Every person who attends, donates, sponsors, volunteers, or shares our mission helps make a difference.

About Disabled Resource Services

Disabled Resource Services is a nonprofit Center for Independent Living serving Larimer and Jackson Counties. We believe that people with disabilities should have the same opportunities, choices, and access as everyone else.

For more than 40 years, DRS has worked alongside individuals with disabilities to provide support, resources, advocacy, and encouragement that promote independence and community inclusion.
