After a long hiatus, the Bedford BBQ and Blues Festival is back. It returns to North Texas just in time for Labor Day weekend.

BluesFest brings together musical artists from all over the state. It kicks off Saturday, September 5th at 2 p.m. and wraps up Sunday night.

In addition to acts like five time Grammy Award winner, Buddy Guy, there will also be arts, jewelry, pottery, and crafts for sale.

General admission tickets are on sale now for $5. Reserved seats cost $10 and children five and under are free. On-site parking is $10.00, but there is free parking nearby at Pennington Field football stadium.

Lawn chairs and blankets are allowed, but coolers, pets, tape recorders, and flash and video cameras are not.
