On Saturday, July 20, 2024, at Kamm Island Park, 600 W Front St, Mishawaka, Indiana, the South Bend Fire Fighters Association, Inc. will present the 25th Annual Firefighters Blues Festival. With the proceeds from this ever growing and wonderful festival, we maintain and operate our two necessary and successful fire safety education programs for children in Michiana:

First, is our Survive Alive Houses. These modular homes had been retrofitted with the latest technology to demonstrate an actual house fire and several other traumatic circumstances for the children. Our second program is The Hoosier Burn Camp, located in Battleground Indiana. Operating since 1997, this is a safe place for children whose lives have forever been changed, physically and emotionally, by the tragedies of fire.

The Fire Fighters Blues Festival is a day filled with food, fun and music for the entire family.
Starting off at 1:00 PM will be our Local 362 Allstars, followed then by Howard and the White Boys. Next up will be Stefan Hillesheim, and then Ivy Ford will take the stage at 7:00 PM. Rounding out our festival will be Albert Castiglia.
