Mission: To produce a live festival style show in historic downtown Winchester for the purpose of providing a
memorable entertainment experience and to raise money to benefit our community.

• Blues House 2008 will be the ninth Blues House event held in downtown Winchester.
• In 2006, approximately 2,000 people attended.
• This is the only live music festival held in historic downtown Winchester.

How we do it
The Blues House Committee partners with benefactor organizations to co-host the event and provide the volunteer support needed to produce and execute the event. These organizations then become recipients of donations made from Blues House net proceeds.

Who has benefited
In 2006,  $20,000 was donated to the Virginia Chapter 1 of Rolling Thunder^® Inc., $20,000 was donated to the F.O.P. Ole Fredericktown Chapter #12 and $500 was donated to The Office of George Washington Museum. 

Since its inception, the festival has raised money to make significant donations to community organizations. After
the first event, net proceeds went to renovate an 1840's duplex in Winchester's South Kent Street neighborhood.
This home was to be the residence of a Winchester Police Officer, thus the name Blues House. Proceeds have
also been donated to Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc., Fremont Street Nursery, The Office of George
Washington Museum, Caretakers (now Boys & Girl’s Club) and more.
