The experience
What's special
The Orange County Blues Festival is a small, one-day blues showcase held at Stages Bar in Santa Ana, California (the 2026 edition is Sunday, September 20). Organized independently around the ethos of supporting blues and blues musicians, it packs five blues acts across two stages into a single afternoon-to-evening bill, with food and drink available on site, an intimate, 'blues on the back porch' club event rather than a large-scale festival.
