Festival Highlights
Project Pabst is more than just a music festival. It's a celebration of Portland's vibrant culture and community. With two stages, live music, and an abundance of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, the festival guarantees a lively atmosphere for attendees aged 21 and over.
Rachel Keeton, Pabst Blue Ribbon's brand director, expressed excitement about bringing the festival back to its roots in Portland. "Ten years ago, the team threw the first Project Pabst in Portland, and this year we have the opportunity to bring it back to the city where it all started," Keeton said. "We set out to create a festival that PBR fans would love, and I'm really proud of how this lineup delivers."
