Waterfront Blues Festival
Tom McCall Waterfront Park • Portland, OR

The Waterfront Blues Festival is the largest blues festival west of the Mississippi. Over 80,000 fans gather annually in Portland’s Waterfront Park to celebrate July Fourth weekend with over 100 local and national artists. The festival uses its broad platform to create awareness and support for organizations that focus on hunger relief and support of musicians. Since 1988, the Waterfront Blues Festival has raised more than $10 million and over 1,000 tons of food to support those facing hunger since its inception. Fuller Events coordinates all festival operations and logistics, partner and sponsorship development, vendor relations, OLCC-licensed alcohol service, marketing and communications, and more.

The Waterfront Blues Festival was voted in 2019 as Best Festival and Best Outdoor Event in
