Winter Blues Festival 2024

The Winter Blues Festival celebrates 25 years with a huge first artist announcement.

The Winter Blues Festival is celebrating its 25th year in 2024 and after last year’s smashing return to pre-pandemic attendance levels, the Winter Blues is all set to bring the best blues music from all over Australia to Echuca-Moama for many years to come.

The Winter Blues is perhaps Australia’s most affordable festival weekend, with entry to all venues remaining free of charge across the four days, and accommodation and restaurants covering a range of price points to suit any budget. An important point of difference in these times of cost of living crisis.

The Winter Blues Festival is delighted to announce its first round of artists for 2024, a list that contains some festival favourites and some new artists to discover. There’s something for the die hard blues fans, but also music that’s perfect to accompany a relaxing weekend with a few drinks, some good food, and some good friends.

Along with the continued success of the Winter Blues Festival has come huge economic and cultural benefits for the local and regional community. As 20,000 punters make the annual pilgrimage to Echuca Moama from all over Australia, it’s hard to believe that the last weekend in July was once the quietest weekend of the year for tourism in the historic port town.

The Winter Blues Festival was set up by the community for the community and is a not for profit organisation run by a volunteer committee which relies on funding from local businesses and grant funding to keep going. Show your support for this local event by heading into town on the weekend of July 25-28 this year, buying a drink or two, having a meal, and getting down to the sound of the blues.
