JULY 18-20, 2025
WINTHROP RHYTHM & BLUES FESTIVAL
Located at the Blues Ranch on the Methow River in the resort town of Winthrop, Washington, the Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival is a three-day event packed full of exciting national and regional entertainment for all ages. There is on-site camping, food and craft vendors, portable showers, and a beer garden. The Blues Ranch is the perfect setting for one of Washington’s finest music festivals. We look forward to another great year and hope to see YOU at the 38th Annual Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival!!
The Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival is brought to you by Winthrop Music Association (WMA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2005 whose mission is to BUILD COMMUNITY THROUGH MUSIC. We believe that music is a catalyst for joy, connection, and healing.
Our vision is to offer audiences, musicians, volunteers, and staff a profound and unique experience of diverse world-class music, community, and natural beauty; and for the Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival and the Winthrop Music Association to be vital partners in creating and sustaining a vibrant cultural and economic ecosystem in the Methow Valley.
WMA is a proud supporter of The Cove Food Bank, Liberty Bell High School Music Program and Booster Club, Methow Arts, Room One, Washington Blues Society Musician Relief Fund, Tommy Zbyszewski Methow Valley Education Foundation scholarship and many others.

Beer Garden Shows
The Methow Juke Joint All-Stars will host our jam sessions in the beer garden after the main stage closes each night Friday, Saturday & Sunday evenings. This long-standing tradition is for many attendees a highlight of the festival, with surprise appearances from main stage musicians and sometimes complete alternate sets from the festival’s finest groups.
Friday’s show benefits The Cove Food Bank. The “Cove”—which is staffed by volunteers and supported by donations from local residents—provides emergency food supplies to families in need in the Methow Valley. You can learn more about the food bank and how to help defeat hunger in the Methow Valley by visiting the organization’s website: www.thecovecares.org. Those of you who’d like to make a donation to this effort can do so at the collection bucket in the Beer Garden.
