This is a list of blues festivals in Canada. These festivals—which celebrate Canadian blues music, and often times roots music as well—range from small, community-based festivals that feature mostly local performers, to major corporate-sponsored festivals that draw nationally and internationally-prominent blues musicians.

Some of the larger festivals in Canada include the Ottawa Bluesfest, Bluesfest Windsor, the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival in Fredericton, Tremblant International Blues Festival in Mont-Tremblant, and the Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival. These festivals, which are usually organized by volunteer-based blues societies, are an important part of the Canadian blues scene.
