In perfect fashion with the blues, Tall City Blues Fest is held at the The Destination’s Old Lumberyard located at 1705 W. Industrial in Midland. The Old Lumberyard is formerly a lumberyard long ago abandoned, but since repurposed and revamped with a juke joint vibe to be one of Midland’s coolest, most eclectic outdoor venues, accented with gems of days gone past.

FEST POSTPONED

We’re announcing a temporary pause on our eagerly anticipatedfestival as we embark on a period of strategic reflection and planning. This decision, though difficult, is driven by our commitment to delivering an unparalleled experience for our attendees, performers, and partners. During this hiatus, our focus will be on reimagining the festival’s future, ensuring that when we return, it will be with fresh ideas, innovative concepts, and a festival experience that exceeds all expectations. We’re deeply grateful for the unwavering support and understanding from our community as this time off is a stepping stone towards a more vibrant festival. Stay tuned for updates as we work behind the scenes to bring you something truly special.

Join us at Mac’s BBQ for a friendly Friday night of live music, great food and West Texas hospitality. There are no tickets and no cover charge. Just come hungry, bring some friends and settle in for a backyard-party kind of night.

Featuring Monica Valli + Roasted Crow

Monica Valli kicks off the evening. An electric guitar-slinging Indie Americana artist based in Austin, Monica brings a soulful, guitar-forward sound and plenty of energy to the stage.

Then Roasted Crow returns to the stage after more than a year-long hiatus bringing their famous Southern delight energy to showcase a mix of originals and classic faves. 

Doors at 6 PM. Live Music 7-10 PM. All ages welcome. 

Mac’s will be serving up the good eats throughout the evening and there will be free Blues Fest merch up for grabs while supplies last.

The Greater West Texas Blues Society will also be on site to accept new members. 

No tickets. No reservations. Just a backyard party served up Blues Fest style.
