Handcrafted jewelry and artwork? Check. Psychic readings? Check. Food trucks? Check. A whole lot of blues and rock n' roll? You got it.

It was the 24th Annual Onset Bay Association Blues Festival on Aug. 6, and the entire area around the Lillian Gregerman Band Shell and the Quahog Republic was dedicated toward the event.

“There's a real variety here,” said Barbara Marvelpillai, who came to the event with a group of friends, some from Taunton. “There are great people here, I have good friends with me, and the bathrooms are good – that's important.”

Marvelpillai and her friends enjoyed nine hours of entertainment from five different acts starting at noon.

The performers included The After Hours Band, the Travis Colby Band, the George Gritzbach Band, Black and White and Michelle Willson and the Evil Gal Orchestra. The area around the Band Shell, where the music acts were, was fenced off since it was a ticketed event.

It was a major fundraiser for the Onset Bay Association, which keeps Onset lively throughout the summer with a series of concerts, shows and family events.

The festival featured 40 vendors, a handful of food trucks, and for the first time, drinks provided by Cape Cod Beer from 2 to 7 p.m. The area was fenced off, so patrons could only sit and drink in a small section of the festival.

Justine Crowley, one of the vendors at the festival, began her jewelry business LoveAleta last year. This is her second time selling at the festival and she said the turnout was great.

Compared to the previous year, she said, the weather was also nicer and cooler.

Crowley began her business as a way to celebrate her mother, who passed away when she was 17. The name, LoveAleta, is her way of expressing her love and having her mother's name all around her.

She and all the other vendors sat along the edge of concert, welcoming passersby in Onset, some who were there for the festival, others cheering on the bikers of the Pan-Mass Challenge, and some just enjoying the beach that day.
