Join us at BluesFest 2025 on Aug. 23

Get ready to shake your tail feather at the 2nd annual BluesFest, rollin’ into Odell Brewing Co. on Saturday, August 23rd from 11am to 7:30pm! This free, all-day festival brings the soul of blues to Fort Collins with live music, cold craft brews, and good vibes—all for a great cause.

Hosted by Disabled Resource Services, BluesFest positive, inclusive experience benefitting people who have disabilities—bringing the community together through music, fun, and awareness.
