The Costa Rica Blues Festival returns for its highly anticipated 10th Anniversary Edition on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the scenic Club Campestre Griego in Grecia, Alajuela Province, located just 20k away from San Jose International Airport. After six years away, this international celebration of blues music promises an unforgettable day of rhythm, soul, and good vibes.
Most performers are traveling directly from the United States, bringing a world-class lineup to one of Central America’s most picturesque outdoor settings — complete with green lawns, tropical shade, delicious food trucks, craft beers, and even a swimming pool for festival-goers to cool off between sets.
Club Campestre Griego is located just 20 km from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), making it very convenient for arrival and transfer. The setting features ample green lawns, refreshing tropical shade, and comfortable amenities—designed for a full day of music and relaxation in the heart of Alajuela Province, Costa Rica.

Blues Bash at the Ranch, held annually each spring, came about after the success of Camping with the Blues, held each October at Florida Sand Music Ranch. Greg Herndon and Paul Benjamin felt another blues festival would be the perfect addition to the ranch and could be held every spring.
Set in the rolling hills of Florida, both Blues Bash at the Ranch and Camping with the Blues are annual blues music events that benefit the beautiful and rustic Florida Sand Music Ranch, located at 85 Myers Road, Brooksville, FL 34602, just off I-75 at Exit 293.
For those who do not camp but still want to enjoy the weekend outdoors, the sponsor hotel, Days Inn, is available nearby at Exit 301 off I-75.
Can’t stay for the whole weekend? Single-day tickets are available for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Bring your friends and family and make a day of it. Food, beverages, and artisan vendors will be on site all weekend.
RV sites and tent camping are available for all ages.
An open-air covered seating area and stage provide the perfect setting for a fun-filled weekend, with a great dance floor that keeps everyone up close to the bands. The festival is family- and dog-friendly.
The festival is also excited to present a children’s program on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Please bring children to the Youth Pavilion and sign them in by 10:00 AM.

The Smoogies bring an intimate listening-room experience to Crazy Uncle Mike’s in Boca Raton on Thursday, February 26, 2026, with two jazz-fusion performances. Seating is limited.
The Smoogies are a Miami-based quartet of multi-instrumentalist composers whose sound blends cultures, life experiences, and modern groove-based jazz.
The group features Vaughn “V.KEYS” Henry (keys, vocals), Dion Kerr (bass), Harvel Nakundi (drums, percussion), and David Chiverton (drums).
Collectively and individually, the band’s members have performed internationally and contributed to projects associated with Lauryn Hill, Snarky Puppy, Ghost Note, Richard Bona, Marcus Strickland, Kirk Franklin, Ignacio Berroa, Godwin Louis, Etienne Charles, and others.
The Smoogies describe their approach as “People Music”—a community-centered concept reflected in their second album. The band has also announced plans for a third release: a live recording captured in Miami.
Their early momentum included a feature on “The Chivertone Sessions”, which brought wider attention and preceded their debut release, “Planet Smoogies.”
