A popular event year after year, the Bonita Springs Blues Festival is a local tradition steeped in an array of Blues music and philanthropic efforts. Over the past four years, the event has donated over $30,000 to local charities including the Liberty Youth Ranch, The Shelter for Abused Women and Children, Healthy Start, The Bonita Springs Assistance Office, the Immokalee Friendship House and Music for Minors. The event is organized by the Bonita Blues Charitable Foundation, which was founded to present high-quality Blues music to our community while raising funds to support local charities.
