This weekend in Brown County, a family-owned campground will open its gates for blues fans young and old. The Southern Indiana Blues Festival starts Thursday at Bill Monroe’s Music Park and Campground. Blues artists from across the country will take to the two stages through Saturday night.

This year, organizer Haley Voils said camping spots are nearly sold out.

“We've got [about] 40 hookup sites for RVs left,” Voils said Tuesday. “We've got plenty of primitive camping.This is as close to sold out camping wise that we've been in quite a few years. So we're gonna have a really big crowd, and we're very excited.”

Opening day kicks off at 7 p.m. Thursday, and the night ends with an “open jam.” Anyone attending the festival with their own instrument can join the main stage for a jam session
