We’re headed out to the Peoria Blues & Heritage Music Festival this weekend and looking forward to an amazing time! This is the Blues festival I’ve seen you asking for for years… and unless you’re reading this on or after Sunday, there is still time to join us! The lineup of both local and national musicians is exciting. I hope to see you out there!
While you’re checking out the photos and videos from Umphrey’s McGee, White Taco & the PileDrivers, and The BraziLionaires, (and being thankful for the fall temps moving in) make your live music line-up and then head out and enjoy this beautiful weekend!
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR VENDOR SPACES STILL AVAILABLE!
If you haven’t signed up for notifications through these PML Facebook Messenger channels:
now would be a great time to do that! This isn’t a “group chat” - these are one way messages from PML letting you know about something you might think is important! For example, we’ll be making an announcement soon about ramping up ticket giveaways… and those who are part of the Giveaways and Promos channel will be the first to know the details!
