Portland Old Time Music Gathering
Portland Old Time Music Gathering is bringing some of the top performers in modern old-time music to the event in 2026. They’ll be part of a packed weekend of concerts, square dances, workshops, jamming, kids’ programming and much more.
The Portland Old-Time Music Gathering is a grassroots volunteer-run festival that aims to celebrate and enrich the community of traditional old-time Appalachian-style stringband musicians. Old Time Music Gathering is an environment where the music is as meaningful as when musicians gather to swap tunes and play in a friend’s living room or meet to play at a campsite during a summer festival. As such, it is essential to keep the event non-profit and volunteer-run. Whether taking tickets, sweeping the floor, organizing the event, or playing music for a concert, it is all volunteers contributing to make it happen.
