Get ready for the Wichita Blues Crawl, which will take place at five different venues in Wichita Old Town. It’s a great time with great music, and you won’t want to miss it. What’s the Blues Crawl? It’s a fundraiser for the Wichita Blues Society, an organization of blues fans dedicated to keeping the blues alive!
My husband and I attended one year with some friends. Not only did we enjoy the music, it was also an opportunity to discover some of the Old Town venues we had never been to. The Wichita Blues Crawl is held twice a year and showcases a variety of styles that make up the blues genre.
$20 for all the bands is a great deal. This is hands down one of the best ways to spend a Sunday evening in Wichita! Your ticket is good for all cubs/bands plus the afterparty.
Wichita Blues Crawl Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026
Time: 3-9 pm
Locaitons for the Blues Crawl:
- Barleycorn’s – Sleepy Truckers
- Brickyard – TBA
- Mort’s – Orphan Jon Trio
- O’Larney’s Irish Pub -Thron Haze
- Rock Island Live – Main McMann & the Difference
All of the venues are within easy walking distance of each other, and the Old Town Plaza is pretty much centrally located, so you may want to find parking there or in the lot just south of it on Douglas Ave. (between Rock Island and Mosley).
Blues Crawl After Party: 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. with Big Luke & the Soul Disciples at the Brickyard.
Cost: $20. Wristbands will be available for CASH at each venue. If you need use a credit card you will want to stop by our Wichita Blues Society Tent set up in the Old Town Farmer’s Market area.
The crawl is a fundraiser for the non-profit Wichita Blues Society, which aims to revitalize the blues scene in Wichita. The Wichita Blues Society is a non-profit organization. wichitablues.org

I might have seen you at the spring crawl! This weekend I won’t be able to make it (unfortunately), which is kind of how the idea of the wristband giveaway started! 🙂
We love the Blues Crawl!
I wish it was every weekend!
This is a great way to get to know the city! We are still a little new to town, and haven’t had the chance to explore the awesome offerings of Wichita much yet but I follow this site regularly to find the great local happenings! Looking forward to this and would love to win!

Great time and superb music! Can’t beat the price for a nice evening out.
I agree!
Have never done this, but it looks like a blast!
Love getting your emails and seeing what there is to do and do cheaply!
Looking forward to a great day of BLUES!!
I love Blues! This looks like it will be a blast!
Another great lineup! I have volunteered for the last few crawls and want to just enjoy myself this year after all my trials and tribulations of the past couple of years. Go WBS! You rock.
Awesome, Debra. Thanks for contributing to the success of these Blues crawls in the past!
Love your site!
Thank you, Jeanine! 🙂
I’m going no matter what but this is my first year attending and I’m so super excited!
Wa-hoo! You’ll love it.
This year especially great lineup of bands!
It sure is!
I have friends that always go & I think I could finally fit it into my schedule this yr.
You’ll be glad you did! Your friends have probably told you that already though. 🙂
There’s nothing better than supporting local artists and what a great price for all that music therapy they’ll be giving me. 🙂
Right on! It’s really like therapy to have a whole evening of just listening to musicians and hanging with your friends. Cheaper than therapy too! 🙂
Hey this sounds like a super fun, not to mention great value, event!
You said it, Kenneth!
A great way to start off our vacation week, and we don’t even have to leave town to hear some great music. Heck, we don’t even have to leave our neighborhood!
Oh, wow. You have such a cool neighborhood then! I love it down there.
Thank you for the info!
You’re welcome, Marti! Hope you can go!
