We're very excited about a virtual Louie Bluie Festival — a festival without borders. Not only will this be accessible at your convenience, but it will allow us to really dig into what the festival is about — Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong and his impact on the community.

You'll be able to watch it on any of your devices, from any location, streaming live from the Alex Haley Farm! Interact with your community on social media as you watch the show.

You've heard it said that we're all in this together. But maybe, just maybe, we always have been. This is a chance for us to not only remember that, but to embrace it, and to strengthen our bonds through music and a shared past.

We are lining up musicians as we speak to perform in this virtual festival! We're also exploring ways to incorporate our maker community. We believe the end result will be valuable for years — even decades — to come.

The Virtual Louie Bluie Festival will be available here and other internet sources as technology allows. Featuring live performances (filmed under COVID-19 safety conditions) and a mix of material from the festival's vast archives, we will launch this on Oct. 10.

Can't wait to bring this to you all!
