Rock Cut Blues hosts an annual festival on the 4th weekend of every July, bringing the finest blues performers from all over the Northwest right here to our backyard, just like it has for the past 13 years, making it one of Northeast Washington's longest-running blues festivals.

The Rock Cut Blues Festival is held at the Rock Cut Campground from which it gained its name, located just six miles south of the Canadian border, using the Cascade border crossing just south of Christina Lake in British Columbia. For our U.S. Blues fans, it is about 110 miles north of Spokane, Washington, about four miles north of the small village of Orient, Washington.

The Rock Cut venue boasts one of the most palatable, crowd-friendly atmospheres of any festival in Washington state, featuring acres of grassy, shaded grounds bordered by the Kettle River, which welcomes all Rock Cut patrons to take a dip or float between its shores in your inner-tube while listening to the Blues.
