Thunder Bay Blues Festival 2015 unveils line-up

Here's what you need to know:

  • Tickets

Tickets are available at the gate. If you ordered tickets online and haven't picked them up, you can get them on-site.

  • Transportation

There is no on-site parking at Marina Park. A Blues Festival ticket gives you a free ride on Thunder Bay transit.

You can park at the Thunder Bay Auditorium and catch a shuttle.

  • Food and Drink

Food concessions are on-site and there is a beverage tent.

The city of Thunder Bay is providing a water refilling station.

  • What to bring

You can bring a lawn chair and an empty water bottle, but no outside food.

You are asked to leave the selfie stick at home.

  • Festival Etiquette

If you bring a lawn chair with a canopy, you're asked to find a spot out of the way so you don't block other people's view.

Enjoy the music, but if you're moved to get up and dance, dance off to the side.
