The Waterfront Blues Festival has returned after a pandemic-caused two-year hiatus.

This 35th edition of the event, which started Friday, will run for four days at Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park and feature more than 100 performances on four stages and the Portland Spirit.

Popular performers at the festival include Taj Mahal & the Phantom Blues Band, Grace Potter, The Wood Brothers, Galactic featuring Anjelika ‘Jelly’ Joseph and Lettuce. Check out the full schedule of events.

The festival will close on the July 4 holiday with a fireworks display over the Willamette River.

There are a variety of ticket packages still available, starting at $35 for a single day. Children 12 and under get in free.
