Each June in Greater Sudbury the summer season officially kicks off with the Annual Downtown Rotary Blues For Food’, in Memorial Park, Downtown Sudbury. Bring your lawn chair, family and friends and enjoy a great day of Family Fun and live music! Help fill the cupboards at the Sudbury Food Bank and help the needy of our community!!!

Admission to the event is non-perishable food items or cash donations. All proceeds from the annual event are donated to the Sudbury Food Bank. Since its inception, Blues For Food has raised over $75,000.00 and over 70 tons of non-perishable food items for the Sudbury Food bank, thanks to the community who support the event every year.

From 11:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m. visitors can enjoy a wide variety of music, food and events. The kids will have their hands full with the Interactive Arts Area, face painting, caricature artists, pony rides, clowns and magicians, bouncy inflatables and a refreshing romp through the fountain!

The Investors Group serve up delicious barbecue throughout the day while the Rent & Party Labatt Refreshment Tent is open for all of the thirsty "19 and over" crowd. On the Main Stage a number of Rhythm and Blues acts keep your fingers snappin' and toes tappin' all afternoon including local favorites Tommy Fyfe & Whiskey River and Hipshake.

Parking is free at all Municipal lots and meters and also at the Rainbow Centre.

Blues For Food is hosted by the Rotary Club of Sudbury and ‘Downtown Sudbury’ . For more information, call 674-5115.
