Nestled in amongst some trees and long stretches of highway is a community which has over the past couple of years been building a small oasis by bringing some music to their laid back part of the state in Louisiana. A hidden little gem known as the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival, it doesn’t need superman acts to waltz into town and lay down a lot of rock star attitude. They don’t need spray painted pop singers or football length stage acreage. No, all this little festival has to offer is good music, good food and people having a good time.

BB&HF is committed to bringing together the finest in musical talent and artists, along the best of food vendors, in the piney woods of Bogalusa.

Changes come following a tripling in attendance for the 2013 event, which drew over 5,000 people and included a full lineup of blues musicians, crafts, and food.
