Since the first wave of legendary Blues performers crashed ashore in Wasaga Beach in 2010, Stonebridge Wasaga Beach Blues has exploded to become a world class destination embraced by both new and die-hard blues fans. Keep an eye on the Wasaga Beach Blues website for the updated schedule as performers are confirmed.
