VENUE
“Why have we moved the location of the Winter Fest?” is a question we are often asked. While the blues society thinks very highly of The Phoenix, its ambiance and its staff, with whom we have an outstanding relationship, we have listened to the feedback of our members and attendees from past events who had two requests: 1. more spacious rooms so everyone could hear all the bands they want in comfort; and 2. facilities with better acoustics, especially in the main ballroom that hosts our national acts. To meet your requests, we are partnering with the Duke Energy Convention Center for the 2018 Cincy Winter Blues & Heritage Festival, where we will occupy the 2nd floor in large, spacious ballrooms. We hope you will enjoy the fest in our inaugural year at the Duke. Come out and bring your friends.
