We regret to announce that the Kentucky Headhunters show has been cancelled due to the recent flooding. We cannot have the venue back in shape in time to get this show in. We are now focusing on the National Crawfish and Gumbo Festival on August 29! This will be a fun one!

Water still rising at the Marina, latest post by Army Corps shows water coming up not down. Gage height, feet, Most recent instantaneous value: 87.13 06-23-2015 09:45 CST. No choice but to postpone Blues Fest scheduled for July 3,4,5th to another date once the marina dries out. My thanks to the folks that have booked their campsites or purchased tickets in advance, you'll be refunded full price. If any local venues would like to talk with the bands scheduled for this event please contact me ASAP. I'd really like to try and help these bands find another gig if possible. I'll be in contact with venues across the area hoping to find jobs for these bands. My apologies, old man river can be timid at times. Stan Sirtak

Attention... the Kaskaskia Riverhouse is currently closed due to the high waters from the river, and the expected rising tides to come. Jeff and Stan and crew are working hard to have ramping in place by the weekend...stay tuned and we will update you as we get them.. Additionally, all events at the property scheduled in the next few weeks are still a go... barring any notification where our patrons safety is jeopardized. We will keep you informed..
