Project Pabst Festival
Words by Danielle Gornbein

 With temperatures expected to drop around 10 degrees, next weekend will be a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. And what better way than with a two-day music festival along the beautiful Waterfront Park in Portland? 

After 7 years, Project Pabst is back and filled with a lineup you won’t want to miss. The curated bunch range to serve up a little something for everyone. Where else are you gonna see Shannon and the Clams, La Luz, T-Pain, Manchester Orchestra, Denzel Curry, Violent Femmes, Big Thief and Billy Idol all in two days?! 

You won’t have to run far between the two stages either to catch rad performances from Portland locals Alien Boy or Glitterfox. Then you can get your dancing shoes on for STRFKR before sharpening your moshing skills with Militarie Gun. If killer songwriting is your jam you’ll be sure to not to miss the sweet serenading of Soccer Mommy or Miya Folick. Gates open at noon and sets start at 12:45 both days with headlining acts ending at 10pm. Put on some sunscreen, choose some tasty bites from local food trucks and grab a $5 beer (yes, you read that correctly) - because Pabst Blue Ribbon believe nobody should pay $17 for a domestic at a festival.. It’s not too late to end your July with a summer blowout. P.S. this is a 21+ shindig so leave the kids at home with a babysitter and some pizza money.
