Begun in 2019 as a one-day fundraiser for The Mineral Point Historical Society, the Mineral Point Blues & Roots Fest has grown into a two-day festival featuring local bands and solo artists as well as award-winning and internationally touring blues acts. The festival’s mission has been to produce a community event that promotes Mineral Point as a historic destination and to bring the community a unique cultural treat of outstanding musicians from the world of blues music.

This year’s festival marks a change in our history, as we say goodbye to our longtime venue at Orchard Lawn and move to the Mineral Point Opera House!

Tickets go on sale Monday, May 5 at 10:00 AM!

Tickets are $30 for Friday only, $40 for Saturday only, and $60 for a two-day pass (plus taxes and fees). Ticket prices will increase by $5 on the days of the event.
