Cisco Ottawa Blues Festival

Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. with Ben Harper on the Bank Of America Stage
The musical flavours at the 2008 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest included funk, and so much more! From a rocking opening night with Canada’s own The Tragically Hip to the final set by Disco Queen Donna Summer, music fans were treated to 11 straight days of great music, with too many stand-out acts to list.

Once again, Bluesfest has endeared itself to a wide range of music fans as a hugely popular music event in Ottawa. It also has established itself as one of the largest international music events in the world, with over 220 musical acts, more than 70 sponsors, 4,400 community volunteers, and crowds of fans that spill out to the city streets.
