A major stage for local and national musicians, the community came together to ensure the future of a beloved Fourth of July tradition. The festival is “part of their annual calendar, part of their family story, part of how they met their spouse, their kids have been coming every year – it has grown to be really entwined into the cultural fabric of Portland,” says Christina Fuller, director of the Waterfront Blues Festival. In its 38th year, this grassroots event has a bright future thanks to a citywide partnership; link in bio. Waterfront Blues Festival is a proud supporter of #HereisOregon
