Blues on the Bridge rocking downtown Binghamton for 23rd year

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Music lovers will rejoice as the funky sounds of blues, rock, and pop fill downtown Binghamton on Saturday.

Beloved Binghamton tradition Blues on the Bridge is back for its 23rd year.

Held next to the South Washington Street Bridge, the festival will feature over a dozen musical acts from around the region and nearly 50 food and craft vendors. Best of all, it’s free to attend.

Legendary duo Donny Wilkins and Tom Martinos started Blues on the Bridge as a way to bring together talented local bands and give them a space to perform. Now, thousands of people attend the festival each year.

Wilkins, who serves as the festival’s Co-organizer and Music Director, says we are lucky to have so many talented musicians here in Binghamton.

“We want to give local musicians a great stage to play and show a big crowd what they’ve got. And they always deliver. They always knock it out of the park, always. It’s just a wonderful thing,” said Wilkins.

Wilkins says Blues on the Bridge is a lifestyle for he and Martinos. He says Christmas comes at the end of every summer.

Blues on the Bridge will take place from noon to 10.
