Wlaf1450CARYVILLE, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF) – Louie Bluie Music & Arts Festival organizers are excited to announce the festival will return live on the grounds of Cove Lake State Park, Caryville next year on Saturday, September 24, 2022!
“We are a bit sad to let another year pass without the festival, but the health and safety of our entire community – performers, volunteers, Park personnel, festival fans – is our top priority, and there is just no scenario under the ongoing pandemic in which we could provide that, and the quality of celebration everyone has come to expect,” said Jocelyn Woods Griffo, Festival Co-Chair. “So dream along with us with songs in your hearts until then.”
Griffo said the committee of organizers concluded that it was best over the next 18 months to examine what is done, why it is done, how it can be done better in 2022. “Having to put the festival on hold this year has been hard,” Griffo said, “though we’re convinced next year will be the best festival we’ve ever put together, and we and the community will come out better for it.”
Meantime, Griffo asks everyone to stay connected with the festival by following on Louie Bluie FaceBook, visiting the website louiebluie.org, and sharing with friends and fans. “Updates will be issued throughout this year, and really roll out in the Spring of 2022,” she said.
