CULLMAN – On Saturday and Sunday, a scorcher and a soaker, thousands came out to Saint Bernard Abbey and Prep School to enjoy food, live music, arts and crafts and other vendors during the second annual Bernard Blues and BBQ Arts, Crafts and Music Festival.
Father Joel Martin, president of St. Bernard Preparatory School, said the proceeds from the event will go to support the school, and ultimately St. Bernard as a whole.
The festival is a great weekend event for families, according to Martin.
The festival featured live music (from four different blues performers), food vendors and various arts and crafts.
Early Sunday, Martin said the attendance at this year’s event has been great.
Father Martin said that although the festival benefits the school, it really goes towards everything at St. Bernard.
St. Bernard Prep brings in students from all over the world, according to Martin.
Father Martin said he and all those at St. Bernard appreciate the support the festival receives from the local community.
