The 2012 Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival will be located at the NEWS GAZETTE in Downtown Champaign Il. Our new home in Downtown Champaign gave the festival room to grow for several more years and the ability to add new elements such as our motorcycle show, our workshop stage, an interview tent as well as provide national touring artists on all stages.
In addition the vibrant downtown area boasts more than 60 bars, restaurants and shops all within one or two blocks of the Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival. We are certain you will enjoy the festival, the nightlife and the excitement that this event will bring to Downtown Champaign!
