Waterfront Blues Festival 2026

We can’t wait to welcome you back to downtown Portland’s Waterfront Park July 2–4, 2026, for the 39th annual Waterfront Blues Festival! Returning in a larger format, the 4th of July weekend tradition will feature three days and three stages of music to kick off summer in true Portland style.

Fans can look forward to an even more expansive and diverse lineup, the return of the beloved Blues Bites food court, an expanded festival footprint, spectacular fireworks in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, and plenty more surprises still to come.
