Get ready for the 2019 Fall Blues Crawl in Wichita, happening Sunday evening, September 29.
The annual event is one you won’t want to miss. A $10 wristband gets you into all the venues plus the After Party.
The Wichita Blues Crawl is really a good time with some great music. You won’t want to miss it.
My husband and I attended the spring crawl 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.
And ten bucks for all of the bands is a great deal. This is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday evening in Wichita, hands down!
Get your wristband at any of the Blues Crawl venues (I’ve listed them below), then visit each location in Old Town to hear a variety of blues performers from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Later, enjoy an after party back at The Brickyard from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
A few of the venues allow entry to those under 21 for the Crawl portion of the evening, but the after party is 21 and older only.
Wristbands are available at all participating venues or at a booth set up in Old Town Farm and Art Market Plaza.
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).
The Wichita Blues Crawl is held twice a year and showcases a variety of styles that make up the blues genre. The crawl serves as a fundraiser to help the non-profit Wichita Blues Society revitalize the blues scene here in Wichita.
The venues and performers for each year’s Spring and Fall Blues Crawls in Wichita can change slightly. Keep an eye here for the updated info.
Here’s the lineup for the 2019 Fall Blues Crawl.

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! 🙂

I wish it was every weekend!

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!

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!
