The experience
What's special
The Wiregrass Blues Festival is a one-day blues festival at The Plant, 308 N St. Andrews Street in downtown Dothan, Alabama, set for Saturday, March 20, 2027 as the 14th annual. The Wiregrass Blues Society began it in 2011 as a tribute concert to Dothan-born bluesman Eddie Kirkland, and it also honors local blues pioneers each year. Around the main stage sit a gumbo cook-off, a classic car show, a charity bike ride and a VIP meet and greet. The 2026 edition was headlined by Crystal Shawanda and Derrick Dove & The Peacekeepers.
How it works
The 2027 festival is on Saturday, March 20, at The Plant in downtown Dothan, with the full 2027 program still to be posted. The 2026 edition opened gates at 2 pm and ran until about 9 pm, with a meet and greet from noon to 2 pm for sponsors and VIPs. Last year general admission was $25 in advance and $30 at the gate, with a $15 society member ticket and $125 VIP. Children 12 and under were free with a paying adult. Lawn chairs were welcome.
Who it suits
It suits blues fans who like a single day of live music in a downtown setting with food and cars to look at. The gumbo cook-off and classic car show give non-musicians something to do, and children 12 and under were admitted free with an adult at the last edition. Bring a lawn chair. The VIP ticket included a meet and greet and private seating.
