If you weren’t aware that the Greater Lake Worth and Palms West chambers merged this year to form the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce, then this weekend’s Blues, Brews and BBQ festival (lwbluesfest.com) at Bryant Park in Lake Worth might provide a first clue.
“As a blues lover, I know it will be a great community event,” says Larry Tabloff, general manager at Royal Palm Mazda, a presenting sponsor.
“We’re proud to support the chamber and Lake Worth for putting this on.”
The festival features a Bamboo Room-centric lineup of regional artists.
The popular Lake Worth concert venue is another presenting sponsor, and hosts a Friday festival pre-party and Saturday and Sunday after-parties.
“Most of the festival artists have played the Bamboo Room,” says manager Craig Young. “It’s an affordable event with a great lineup, and we also have terrific shows here over the weekend.”
Several food vendors will be at Bryant Park, plus an array of brews and other beverages as well as arts and crafts, a business fair, and a play area for kids.
On Saturday, see John Rowand — The Pitbull of Blues from 12:30 to 2 p.m., the Jeff Prine Group featuring Juanita Dixon from 2:30 to 4 p.m., David Shelley and Bluestone from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Joey Gilmore from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and Bill “The Sauce Boss” Wharton from 8:30 to 10 p.m.; on Sunday, see the Nucklebusters from 12:30 to 2 p.m., the Damon Fowler Group from 2:30 to 4 p.m., and Victor Wainwright and the Wildroots from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
