Tickets are on sale for the Lakewood Ranch Blues Festival.
And a full lineup of artists was announced, too.
The Blues Festival started in 2012 in Bradenton, but the event’s sponsor, Realize Bradenton, said they were no longer producing it. In March, co-founder Paul Benjamin announced the festival’s new plans : a move to Lakewood Ranch’s Waterside Place.
The inaugural festival in Lakewood Ranch, sponsored by Bank of America, takes place Saturday, Dec. 7 at Waterside Park, an 8-acre island on Kingfisher Lake in Waterside Place.
Tickets cost $75 for general admission and $150 for a reserved seat. Reserved seating is at the front of the stage and comes with a cushioned seat.
Festivalgoers can donate $10 to the nonprofit, Mayors Feed the Hungry program.
