Thousands were lured to the 5th annual event! Did you go? Upload your photos here!

When Tyrone Square Mazda became the presenting sponsor of the 5th Annual Tangerine Blues Fest in Gulfport, organizers knew it would result in a larger donation to All Children's Hospital.

The numbers are still coming in, but officials believe this year's attendance surpased last year's 8,000 attendees.

This year's line up originally included Sterling Magee, however, officials were notified that he was unable to make it and The Dukes of Juke filled in at the last minute. Other live bands included No Money Down, Betty Fox and Sean Chambers.
