Blues in the Clubs is perhaps the signature experience of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival. On Friday and Saturday night of festival week, the artist faculty perform in smaller, club settings, playing sets in all sorts of interesting combinations.

In 2018, Centrum is excited to present Blues in the Clubs to all-ages in various venues at Fort Worden State Park.

One wristband each night gives you access to all venues, and an amazing variety of musicians. Please read our Wristband Policies.
