Our Mission
The objective of the Society is to educate the general public about the native art form of blues-related music through performance, interpretation and preservation, thus enhancing appreciation and understanding. The Society will make all events sponsored by it accessible to the general public by being nonprofit and using volunteers.

About Us
When you think of the Mississippi Valley Blues Society, our annual IH Mississippi Valley Blues Festival may come to mind, a three-day festival held in July on the banks of the Mississippi River that some critics say is one of the finest blues fests in the country. While we're very proud of our festival and the fact that we've been able to present it for over twenty years with an all-volunteer organization, it is certainly not all that we do. We have a variety of programs that go on throughout the year that keep us busy and help support our mission.
