More Room For Blues

Windsor's Bluesfest is going bigger this year.

Organizers are getting more room at Festival Plaza and Bluesfest Windsor President Rob Petroni says that means a better VIP experience.

"The VIP area, I'm very excited about. We've sold, so far, eight tents. We have ten available and that's eight tents per night we've sold," says Petroni. "We are still looking for a title sponsor, so that's our next big step. If we get a title sponsor, that whole stage experience is going to change completely."

Acts include Christian Vegh, Hundred Seventy Split and the Lowrider Band.

Bluesfest runs July 10-12.
