Waterfront Park Portland, Oregon Blues Festival

Summer has come to Oregon in a rush. Temperatures here in Portland are in the high 70′s-80′s, the sun is shining brightly and the weatherman  is predicting  perfectly clear skies with not a cloud in sight. But, like almost always, there is a cooling breeze that keeps us from over-heating.

Check out a video of the Waterfront Blues 2009 — Robben Ford .

Don’t miss this exciting event and great entertainers.  The Portland Waterfront Blues Festival is the 2nd largest in the USA.
