July 31-August 2, 2025

Blues on the Chippewa will AGAIN be ON the Chippewa! Mark your calendar and join us at our new location - Veteran’s Memorial Park, on the shore of the Chippewa River.

Blues on the Chippewa is an event that is FREE to attend. We ask that you consider making a donation throughout the weekend, as part of our mission is to help those who help others in the area. In the past we’ve supported the Durand Area Food Pantry, Brent Titus Music For Children Program, Pepin County Humane Society, seniors citizens programs, Durand Women’s Club ‘Fill a Backpack Program’, and the Pepin County Historical Society to name a few.
