Blues in the Clubs is perhaps the signature experience of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival –  it’s a a moveable feast of great music in various downtown venues, with each venue operating on a first-come, first-seated basis. Your wristband is an all access pass (Please read our Wristband Policies), and we encourage you to move around throughout the evening to gain the full benefit of the clubs experience. Venue hosts will help direct you to available seating or standing room options.

One wristband each night gives you access to all venues, and an amazing variety of musicians.
