The Doheny Blues Festival has emerged as the premier Blues Festival in Southern California.  Additionally, it is perhaps the most picturesque setting for an event of its kind anywhere. This year Blues fans also enjoyed spectacular clear blue skies and mild temperatures to go along with the strong lineup. 

Despite the state of our economy and the state of the Blues, this year’s Festival drew record crowds. Omega Events in conjunction with the Surfrider Foundation have produced the festival for the past 13 years.
