January 25, 2024 ~ Not Done Yet!

      The Trinidaddio Blues Festival was first presented in 1999 and over the years became one of the premiere musical events not only in Colorado but nationwide. It drew blues fans from the whole country to Trinidad each August and established itself as a top-shelf celebration of the musical legacy that was the seed for most American popular styles.

        Granted, it was not as large a gathering as some of the other blues festivals of renown.  Nevertheless, the commitment of the managers, sponsors and public to support the blues in southern Colorado and present a world class festival resulted in Trinidaddio becoming one of the events that national and international touring bands had on the target list for their annual itineraries. The word was out that if you could get on the Trinidaddio, you would be very well accommodated, enthusiastically welcomed, and have a weekend in beautiful southern Colorado that would stand out as a memorable stop on your traveling schedule.

        Although the festival is no longer a part of the Trinidad arts community’s calendar, the determination of the Trinidaddio Blues Fest Non Profit Organization’s board of directors to continue to be active in bringing quality performances to town has not diminished. We will continue to partner with entities both public and private to bring top quality musical entertainment to Trinidad.  The NPO will endeavor to bring local events that focus not only on the blues but other genres as well.  The twenty-odd years of a proven track record of success will enable us to lure the best in regional and national entertainment. Stay tuned.

January 1, 2023 ~ Due to financial constraints, there will not be another Trinidaddio Blues Fest.  With little support from the City of Trinidad City Council in 2021 and none in 2022, the decision was made to end the fest for good.

  Trinidaddio Blues Fest non-profit will continue to sponsor the Trinidaddio Blues Hours on KCRT radio every Wednesday from 8 to 10 pm.

  We would like to offer our sincere Thanks for jobs well done to the Trinidad Police Department, the Trinidad Fire Department, and all the city workers who aided in the production of all the Fests since 1999.  Thanks also to all the hard working volunteers and our generous sponsors.
