COLUMBIA, MO – As the sun begins its descent over Stephens Lake Park in Columbia on Friday, Oct. 7, thousands of festivalgoers will make their way across the park grounds to claim their spot in front of the two main stages and settle in for the first celebratory songs of the weekend. At 4:00 p.m., the three-day party officially gets underway, marking the fifteenth installment of the acclaimed Roots N Blues Festival, October 7-9.
Roots N Blues takes place across 50 acres of the picturesque Stephens Lake Park near downtown Columbia and features over two dozen artists performing on two main stages spread over three days and nights, food trucks, beverage tents, hand-crafted art and fun and games for younger attendees.
The artists performing at Missouri’s largest outdoor music festival cover the gamut of American “roots” music, spanning the spectrum from blues and soul to country and bluegrass, rock ‘n roll to pop and nearly everything in between.
