Join us August 22nd & 23rd 2008 for the 19th Annual Hot August Blues Festival. Located on the scenic Kentucky Lake in Hardin, KY, we guarantee a weekend of phenominal blues music performers!

Since it's creation, Hot August Blues has remained a "must attend" event in the western Kentucky region! It's rich tradition dates back to 1989 and was the brainchild of park manager Bill Hainsworth and group sales coordinator, Gloria Peck-Hargrove.

What began as a handful of performers playing to 500 people, now covers two days, featuring eleven bands and with attendance in the thousands!

Featuring many regional favorites, performers also have come from as far away as Australia, both coasts, and New Orleans. The Hot August Blues Festival has included entertainers ranging from 5 years old to their 90's!

In 2007, the Hot August Blues Festival was selected as one of the state’s Top Ten summer events by the Kentucky Tourism Council! This is the 3rd time that it has been named one of the top events in Kentucky to attend and we are already hard at work to earn a place on the list in 2008.

Friday evening kicks off the weekend with evening concert performances at Kenlake’s Amphitheater. The Hot August Blues Festival is held rain or shine, so grab a poncho and sunscreen, don't forget your cooler and come join us in Hardin for a night of unforgettable blues music! We'll see you there!
