The Waterfront Blues Festival is a cornerstone event of the Pacific Northwest, and one of the most dynamic music events in the world, hosting legendary performers and up-and-coming artists pushing the boundaries of blues, soul, rock, funk, folk, R&B and more. This year's immersive and inclusive summer festival will feature performances on two stages in downtown Portland's beautiful waterfront, plus Oregon’s largest fireworks show. It’s a can’t-miss Fourth of July weekend!
