One of Erie’s favorite music festivals is returning this weekend.

What began as a grassroots event over 30 years ago has grown into one of Erie’s signature traditions, featuring nationally recognized performers alongside regional artists.
Organizers said the event is centered around what brought it together in the first place: community.
“There’s such demand inside the community for an event that brings everybody together, and you get a chance to see people maybe you don’t see all year long and they’re your neighbors at Blues and Jazz Fest,” said Timothy Bruno, board chair for the Erie Blues and Jazz Festival.
The Erie Blues and Jazz Festival continues Sunday with another full day of live performances at Frontier Park.
