Great Music Draws Festival-Goers (GALLERY)

Numerous blues legends and all-star performers took the stage this weekend for 21st annual Bluesfest in Windsor.

The event kicked off on Friday at Windsor's Riverfront Festival Plaza and attracted around 20,000 people in the first two days alone.

Organizer Carol Petroni says she thinks it's the love of the music that draws in so many people each year.

"The atmosphere everybody loves," she says. "But really, everybody, including the artists, comment on the venue. You can't go wrong when you're on the river with Detroit as your background."

Petroni says the biggest change to this year's event was the addition of eight new VIP tents.
