Bluesfest’s final night took place yesterday, Sunday the 14th, and the festival went out with a bang.
A power outage in the west Centretown area affected parts of LeBreton Flats where the festival was taking place. From about 5:45pm to 9:00pm, Bluesfest lost power but quickly set up generators to handle performances from “Blues in Schools” and “Be in the Band” programs.
Power was restored in under four hours, allowing main headliner, Nas, to perform the final show without any hiccups.
