What happened to Kenlake Hot August Blues Festival?
Organizer Eric Allen ended the annual festival after the 2023 edition, saying it had become unsustainable in an increasingly crowded regional festival market, that Kenlake had become more of a boaters' destination than a land-access one, and that regional sponsors were spread thin across competing events. He had kept it running through the COVID-19 pandemic largely at his own expense.
