Columbia River Gorge Bluegrass Festival July 21-25

[Jim Roberts]

Wondering if any other Café members are going to the Gorge festival next month? Peter Rowan is the headliner and it should be a wonderful event. This will be my first time to this fest and wondering how the campsite jamming is? Looks like a couple stellar breweries nearby, too!

Cheers.

Lagunitas sponsors the beer garden and the jamming goes at least until 3:00 for folks younger than me. Full Sail is a short drive across the river too.

Western Swing bands and dancing too.
I think I'm in #156, if not it's a friend of mine.

[Jim Roberts]

All the RV/camp sites were taken so we are staying a few miles away...hopefully it'll be a bit quieter (age thing, too!). I'll swing by #156 to see if we can cross paths and pick a few. Regarding breweries, there is Walking Man Brewery right there in Stevenson on 1st Street I think.

[Pete Martin]

I'll be there. Lots of good pickers go.

I am making the attempt to go to Darrington, and i might stick around for the Gorge fest. Tom

If any of you hear of an RV site opening up let me know, please.

Cheers.

I'll be there. That has to be one of the most beautiful locations for a Bluegrass Festival.

[Denman John]

We'll be at Northwest String Summit the weekend before, and might try to hit this as well. I've heard that it's a good festival for jamming as well as Darrington. Decisions decisions ...

[Jim Roberts]

I'm staying in the campground after all and my RV spot is #53. I should have plenty of stellar IPA on hand.

Cheers.

This is a good festival in a great location. It's not overwhelmingly huge, the city of Stevenson is charming with some good places to eat. The jams are fun and relaxed.I think you'll have a great time.

[Bill McCall]

I'm actually in 150.

[Jim Roberts]

My right wrist is in a cast so I will probably will not make it up for the fest...even though it's a removable cast I think it'd be too tempting to try to jam. But, who knows, I may go after all. Stellar location, fantastic lineup and, of course, the nicest people in the world through acoustic music!

I may have two event tickets and an RV parking spot for sale if anyone is interested.

Cheers.
