When the AimLoan.com San Diego Blues Festival was founded in 2011, it had a simple mission to provide great blues music at an affordable price, and raise money to support the battle against hunger in our community.

Since then, the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank has shared some of the best blues musicians on the planet with an appreciative and growing audience. In the festival's first four years, our sponsors and our festival goers have helped contribute 20 tons of food and more than $435,000 to help the Food Bank fight hunger in San Diego County.

This year the family-friendly event will feature 9 musical acts on two stages featuring the talents of the California Honeydrops, Joe Louis Walker, and Grammy award-winning artist Mavis Staples. Festival attendees will enjoy local craft beer, food vendors, specialty cocktails and wine, along with arts and crafts vendors. All proceeds and food drive donations will benefit the Food Bank.
