Riverside Park could be mistaken for a bustling big-city venue this Friday and Saturday, thanks to the Bonita Blues Festival. Now in its eighth year, the two-day affair has established itself as a destination for seasoned listeners and venerable musicians representing all shades of blue. Heavy-hitting headliners Joe Louis Walker and Deanna Bogart lead the eleven artists hailing from across country to benefit the Bonita Springs Assistance Office, Music for Minors Foundation and Golisano Children’s Hospital music therapy program. bonitablues.com
