Chautauqua Hills Blues Festival

From Chautauqua Hills Blues Festival Website:

"The festival was conceived as a Memorial Weekend event to share entertainment and the beauty of Chautauqua County."

The Chautauqua Hills Blues Festival is a community supported non profit event with an all volunteer staff, held every Memorial Day weekend. All proceeds benefit the children of Chautauqua County. Festival grounds are located a mile north of Sedan and offer 100+ acres perfect for camping, all in sight of the stage. Although there are art and food booths, the focus of this event is the natural beauty of the venue and area.

Chautauqua Hills Festivals Inc, holds the annual Blues festival to promote local business and tourism in Chautauqua County with all proceeds going to benefit the children of Chautauqua County.

We also sponsor the local Blues in the Schools program. The Chautauqua Hills are unique geographically in Kansas being the only cross-timber area in the state. Chautauqua and the adjacent Elk County also feature the 3 most photographed and beautiful waterfalls in Kansas.

The festival features the best talent in the area as well as national and regional acts every year. The national acts play early so those not camping can be home by midnight. Camping is strongly encouraged. Since all bands stay in Sedan, some of the highlights of the festival have been the scheduled jam and after show bonfire.

We hope you'll make this an annual event you'll share with us every year!
