The annual Bluesberry & Beer Festival takes place in downtown Norcross on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 3 to 10 p.m.
It’s in the spring this year, rather than in the fall as usual.
The festival is centered at Betty Mauldin Park — that’s where the music stages will be. You can kick back there and relax to the blues.
You can also wander the downtown area looking for merchants with the “cool blue dude” decal displayed — this means they have bluesy specials, including berry-inspired food and drink.
This unusual festival started with the idea of a blueberry day, with all the downtown restaurants featuring blueberry cocktails and gourmet dishes. Then someone got the idea to add blues music to the mix… and the rest is history.
The Iron Horse Tavern is at the heart of the Bluesberry & Beer Festival. The building is over 130 years old, with exposed brick walls and original wood floors. There’s a huge deck where you can enjoy good weather and listen to live music.
In the past, beer trucks throughout the festival offered plenty of selections from local breweries.
Betty Mauldin Park is located at:
65 Lawrenceville St
Norcross , GA 30071
