Peak Northwest

Outdoor concert venues and amphitheaters to visit this summer

Listen Later

Music lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike have a wealth of options when it comes to hearing music live and outdoors.

Portland concertgoers can make a four-and-a-half hour drive to dance to sweet tunes as the sun sets behind a gorge. There’s also the option 30 minutes away to sit out on a lawn with friends as big artists rock out. Either way, making it to an outdoor show is a must every summer for many people.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we chat about a few of the many outdoor concert venues in the region.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • McMenamins Edgefield brings big name acts to a Troutdale lawn where concertgoers can sit back and relax, without traveling too far from Portland.
  • McMenamins Grand Lodge is a new concert venue, similar to a smaller version of Edgefield with unbeatable sunsets.
  • Portland venues to enjoy without leaving the city.
  • The Gorge Amphitheater is one of the most breathtaking spots to enjoy live music and worth the longer drive.
  • Wear your sunscreen. And other tips and tricks to a successful concert experience outside.
