  • Set up shuttle services or rideshare services to and from the festival if you intend to drink alcoholic beverages at the Waterfront Blues Fest. You must bring your ID with you to purchase drinks and cocktails.

  • Fully stock your RV to ensure a more convenient trip and avoid running out of supplies. You can bring groceries, beverages, and personal items you will need while RV camping.

  • Have your RV serviced before you come to Portland. The summer temperature can become rather warm, and it’s best to ensure your AC works properly. Bring weather-appropriate clothing and shoes to the festival.
