Summer sunshine and live music go together like peanut butter and jelly. This summer, we are incredibly excited to attend local venues to support a talented community of musicians. Although we don’t have a huge arena, Skamania County is packed with intimate, relaxed music venues. The Columbia River Gorge music scene is ready to absolutely rock this year! Read on to learn more about concerts, live music events, and more.
The Stevenson Farmers’ Market
Head out to the Stevenson Waterfront each Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm to shop for local produce and enjoy live music. The market is located at the Port of Skamania along the Columbia River in Stevenson, Washington. Support our favorite local, small businesses while you rock out! Live music is scheduled through October 9th, so schedule your visit soon.
