The Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival returns July 17–19, 2026, for its 39th year, bringing three days of blues, soul, funk, and roots music to the Methow Valley. Set along the Methow River just outside downtown Winthrop, this beloved summer tradition offers a relaxed, intimate experience just a scenic drive from Seattle.
The 2026 lineup is led by The California Honeydrops and includes Southern Avenue, Shinyribs, Sue Foley, Mike Farris & The Fortunate Few, The Rumble featuring Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr., Bywater Call, Ariel Posen, and more—blending established artists with rising voices and regional favorites.
Beyond the main stage, the weekend unfolds with on-site camping, local food and artisan vendors, and late-night jam sessions in the beer garden, often featuring spontaneous collaborations and guest appearances.
Produced by the Winthrop Music Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the festival is powered by volunteers and rooted in a mission to build community through music. Proceeds support both the festival and local nonprofit partners.
Weekend passes and single-day tickets are available. Advance purchase recommended.
