Old Capitol Blues & BBQ

07/08/2024

We are sad to say that, after 19 years of the Old Capitol Blues & BBQ, we’re taking a hiatus this year. Due to costs and logistics, there will not be a street festival this August. We will regroup and examine the possibility of returning in 2025. If you need to get your blues on, The Alamo downtown will host Mark Hummel on Saturday night, 8/24 … The Alamo’s 30th anniversary! This was a difficult decision and we hope to continue entertaining the blues fans of Central Illinois!
