13th Annual Southwest Florida Blues Festival November 17, 2012

The 13th Annual Southwest Florida Blues Festival will once again be held outdoors at the German American Social Club located at 2101 SW Pine Island Road, Cape Coral, Florida 33991. (Also known as State Route 78, which can be accessed from I-75 and US-41 and then heading west, OR east if coming from the Pine Island and Matlacha area).

For those of you who enjoy staying in Matlacha or on Pine Island for its many unique galleries and Old Florida atmosphere, don't worry, go ahead and make your reservations, as this venue is only about 3 miles east of Matlacha, (Mat-la-shay). The island also hosts taxi and shuttle services for those who don't want to drive.

Wherever you decide to hang your hat that weekend, we hope you'll come out and enjoy some of the Best Blues Musicians in the business. You really don't want to miss this day of exceptional music! Advance ticket donations for adults are only $15.00 each, and just a $20.00 donation at the gate. Kids 10 and under are free with a paid adult. In an effort to minimize gate staffing requirements and confusion during personnel changes, return entries will be restricted to one per attendee.

Please remember this is a Nonprofit event, What You Can Bring: sunscreen, insect repellent, blankets and "beach chairs", hats, jackets and handheld battery opporated fans are all encouraged, (this is an outdoor event and we do not provide seating), What You Can't Bring: No Coolers, No Carry in Beverages, NO Beach Umbrellas and No Pets are permitted. There will be plenty of Great Food and Ice Cold beverages on hand. We'll also have numerous art and craft vendors for you to peruse during the day.

Your attendance helps support music education, youth groups, scholarships grants, senior citizen support networks and other local charities. Please do your part, by coming out to enjoy a full day of fantastic music, reasonably priced food items and some ice cold beverages. You can also be assured your support helps Keep the Blues Alive

Thank You,
The Matlacha Mariners
