Located just across US30 near the Columbia River where Lewis and Clark once rested during their famed travels, only 33-miles West of Portland, Oregon, is the Columbia Meadows Amphitheater concert site.

This concert site is more than 100-acres of lush meadowlands nestled up against a hillside of towering evergreens. Blackberry bushes perfume the air with the smell of their sweet fruit. You will forget about the hustle and bustle of city life as you stroll through parking areas to the Concert Entry. There are no sidewalks in these open fields and the lighting is limited. It's just you and the natural beauty of rural Columbia County.

Keep in mind that hot summer days call for sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays. You may like to have a light jacket with you while you share a moment with your favorite artists underneath the twinkling night sky. We recommend that you be prepared for all weather. Columbia Meadows Amphitheater is an outdoor concert site. Wear tennis shoes or good walking shoes. High heals are not recommended. Bring a light Jacket and possibly a blanket. Remember to use sunscreen and drink lots of water. Cool, crisp drinking water is provided free of charge at all of our Columbia Meadows Amphitheater shows.

Penlights, which can be kept on a key chain, are useful in the evening throughout the parking areas.

Please, do not bring glass or metal objects to the meadow; they can create hidden hazards in the grass. We appreciate your use of the trash containers and cigarette cans. If you are going to smoke, we ask that you utilize the designated smoking area.

Lowell MacGregor Group wants you to have the best experience possible, and we hope these hints will be helpful. Enjoy the music. Enjoy your family and friends. Enjoy a bit of nature. We will be looking forward to seeing you there!
