Okay, it’s got a rather lame name, but Bluesapalooza nonetheless sounds like a really great event to check out.
The proper name of the festival is actually the 11th Annual Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza. Blues. Beers. Mammoth Mountain. How can you go wrong?
This year’s festival runs August 4-5 and showcases more than 50 microbreweries as well as the musical talents of Alvin Youngblood Hart, Joe Louis Walker and The Bosstalkers, among others.
Best of all, the festival is located in scenic Mammoth Mountain; California’s premier ski resort in the winter and summer playground in the, uh… summer.
