Groundworks Sponsors 18th Annual Blue Wing Blues Festival
Event Recap:
On September 1, 2025, our Groundworks Fairfield branch proudly sponsored the 18th Annual Blue Wing Blues Festival in Upper Lake, California. This Labor Day weekend tradition, held at the Blue Wing Saloon and Tallman Hotel, celebrates blues music and local culture. With Groundworks’ support, the event welcomed nationally recognized blues performers and continued its legacy as a regional highlight.

This sponsorship helped preserve cultural traditions and reflect our commitment to supporting the communities we so proudly serve.
