Every Labor Day weekend, Laclede’s Landing hosts the Big Muddy Blues Festival, a two-day, twenty-hour concert festival that features thirty blues bands from around the world. Now in its seventeenth year, the festival thrived with over 60,000 attendees ignoring the rainy weather conditions to hear some of the best blues, R&B, soul, gospel and grammy award-winning musicians the world has to offer such as Ana Popovic, Joe Louis Walker, Billy Peek and Doctor John. The musicians were hosted on three stages that surrounded Laclede’s Landing allowing concert goers the option to listen to any of the three bands playing at that time.
