You can be sure the entertainment for Savannah Blues Weekend 2016 will not disappoint.

Of course, along with the Blues and Jazz there is also the BBQ! Some of Savannah’s best, local restaurants and catering companies that specialize in BBQ will be here offering up those sticky and spicy favorites like racks of ribs, smoked turkey legs, buffalo wings, pulled pork sandwiches, and more, with sides and drinks – and all at very reasonable prices.

Besides the soul-stirring music and mouth watering barbecue, Savannah Blues Weekend 2016 also promises lots of great arts and crafts by local artisans, not to mention all the wonderful shops and galleries of Savannah’s rich Riverfront.
