It was almost canceled this year, but residents rallied to keep Dunedin Wines the Blues alive, and the city listened. The party may be scaled back a little, like in the early days, but it’s happening.

Talent taking over downtown includes Betty Fox, RJ Howson, Soulfish Band, “Tbone” Hamilton, and a tribute band that will help remember Wendy Barmore, a regular performer on the city’s live music scene who died last March at the age of 68.

There's no cover for the Dunedin Wines the Blues happening this Saturday, Nov. 11 at Pioneer Park (420 Main St.), although you can purchase a $50 ticket for its wine tasting at dunedinwinestheblues.com. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
