Tom McCall Waterfront Park

Join us for two days of music, community, and celebration at one of Portland’s most iconic summer events — the Waterfront Blues Festival! We’re proud to once again be a Blues Fest Cares nonprofit partner, along with The Jeremy Wilson Foundation. This annual event brings thousands together to enjoy great music and support meaningful causes — all in the heart of downtown Portland.

Make a Difference at Checkout

When you purchase your Waterfront Blues Fest tickets, you’ll have the chance to support both of this year’s nonprofit partners. A donation pop-up will appear during checkout — and 100% of donations will be split equally between Meals on Wheels People and the Jeremy Wilson Foundation.

Your gift helps us deliver meals and connection to homebound older adults while also supporting the health and well-being of local musicians.

All tickets are offered at two price tiers, so buy early for the best blues for your buck.

  • April 4 at 10 a.m.: Initial lineup announced! All two-day passes and 1-day tickets on sale at tier-one pricing.
  • June 6: All two-day passes and one-day tickets move into tier-two pricing.

Stop By and Say Hi!

We’ll be at the festival at the Blues Fest Cares booth — so be sure to stop by! You can meet our team, learn more about our work, and discover ways to get involved in the community.

Want to Volunteer?

We’re looking for volunteers to interact with attendees, answer questions about the organization, take donations, and sell raffle tickets at the Meals on Wheels People booth. All volunteers will receive free admission to the festival on the day of their shift, so this is a great way to enjoy one of Portland’s biggest summer events at no cost!
