No Big 4th Plans? Singles Hangout at Blues Fest + Fireworks at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, OR on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Fireworks performing live.
No big 4th of July plans? Come join us for a low-key singles hangout at Waterfront Blues Festival, with music, food, people-watching, and fireworks over the river. We’ll meet at Waterfront Blues Festival in the evening, grab food or drinks, listen to music, hang out, and then find a spot together for the fireworks later in the night. Come solo, come with a friend, come for the whole evening, or just come for part of it. This is meant to be casual, friendly, and low-pressure. Important details: • This Meetup RSVP does not include admission to Waterfront Blues Festival • Each person is responsible for buying their own festival ticket (link here ) • The festival is at Tom McCall Waterfront Park • We’ll meet at 6:30pm, with the exact meetup spot posted in the comments closer to the event • The group may move around during the evening, so please check the comments for location updates if you arrive late or need to find us • Fireworks are expected later in the evening, around 10:00pm • Please update your RSVP if your plans change so someone else can take your spot The website has an excellent list of what to bring and keep at home. A few recommended highlights include: • Festival ticket • Valid ID • Empty reusable water bottle or factory-sealed water • Layers for later in the evening • Comfortable shoes I’m planning to bring a small blanket, which is probably the easiest option if you want to sit for fireworks. Low-profile lawn chairs may be allowed by the festival, but you’ll have to carry them and follow the festival’s seating rules, so pack accordingly. Transportation note: Parking downtown will likely be difficult. Transit, rideshare, biking, or walking from a nearby parking area are strongly recommended. Community Rules: This is a singles group, but the goal is still a comfortable, respectful, and friendly social environment. Please follow the Community Rules in this group’s About section. No…
