Coeur d'Alene Blues Festival feat. Blues Edition, the Doghouse Boyz, Billy D & the Hoodoos, Sekwyn Birchwood, Charlie Butts & the Filter Tops and more

The Lake City is turning blue this weekend, as hundreds of music fans and musicians alike flock to the 6th annual Coeur d’Alene Blues Festival, a weekend-long affair. Considering the beautiful spring weather the Northwest has been host to so far this year, Friday’s Blues Cruise on the lake should be a highlight, as swinging sounds echo over the rippling water at sunset. Performances continue on Saturday, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. With numerous ticketing options, hit up the whole festival or just one day.
