Blues for Food Fest

Music. Food. Friends. Gardening. Labor Day weekend. They're all available at the Blues for Food Fest!

The fourth annual Blues For Food Fest is an "all-day celebration of good food, good friends and good music". This celebration features local blues bands as a fundraiser for the P-Patch Trust and the Washington Blues Society Musicians Relief Fund.

The event raises awareness about hunger and celebrates the P-Patch giving gardens that donate over 28,000 pounds of organic produce to food banks and meals programs each year.

The festival also features one of our favorite booths - "Beet Hunger", where you can conveniently donate your homegrown produce! After the festival Lettuce Link will deliver donations to a local meals program or food bank.
