| Project Name: | Aurora Winter Blues Festival |
| Project Description: | This application is for “The Aurora Winter Blues Festival”, a 4-day music festival taking place February 26, 2026 to March 1, 2026 with various performances, workshops, and educational elements. The goal of the project is to return a beloved festival to the Aurora Community as this festival has been on hiatus for a couple years. Now with the Aurora Cultural Centre being the producer of the festival, are reestablishing the Blues festival as a continuation and extension of our mission and vision to bring vitality to the heart of Aurora through arts and culture. The programming for “The Aurora Winter Blues Festival” includes: (1) Blues performances featuring six artists over four days which will be taking place at the Aurora Town Squares Davide de Simone Performance Hall; (2) Aurora Public Library will be programming book highlights of blues music/lectures/talks with writers in the month leading up to the festival; and (3) Town of Aurora Museum will have an event/exhibit around Aurora’s history of blues music during the duration of the festival. |
