Is this the Mile High Blues Festival? Doesn’t that happen in August?
The Mile High Blues Exchange is a blues dancing festival, and it happens each year at the end of March. The Mile High Blues Festival is a blues music festival. And it does happen in August. That website is at www.milehighbluesfestival.com. And while we dig what they’re doing, we’re not them. (Please note this if you are a band trying to book yourself into the Festival.)

What’s the difference?
