Venues

We'll be dancing up a storm at several venues around town. The main venues include:

Waterfront Blues Festival

The festival takes place in Tom McCall Waterfront Park, just to the north and south of the Hawthorne Bridge on the west side of the Willamette River.

After Hours at Nia Now

This is a beautiful venue with two spacious dance rooms and a lounge full of comfy chairs and couches where we serve late-night snacks and play geeky dance videos on a big-screen TV. [http://nianow.com/studio]

Duff's Garage

There's always a live band at Duff's—you can check out their schedule at www.duffsgarage.com. Come here between festival and late-night for a drink and an energetic bar atmosphere, like the old-time blues dancers enjoyed.

And More...

In the past, we've had dance parties in Portland's park blocks and town squares, visited various live music bars, as well as Portland's regular weekly dance venues. You'll find many options as the event nears.
