The first annual Wilsonville Festival of Music @ Charbonneau took over the Charbonneau Country Clubhouse and pavilion Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3.

The two-day music festival, also referred to as “Blues for Schools,” was organized by the Charbonneau Arts Association. It served as a fundraiser for the performing arts departments at Canby and Wilsonville high schools.

Performers on Saturday included Ben Rice & PDX Hustle, Low Maintenance and Noah Bell & Bottleneck Blues. Sunday included Taylor Newville and the Riders, Chad Rupp & TSR, Bon Ton Rulers and the Revival Brothers Band. Sunday’s performances were hosted by KOIN-TV political director and anchor Ken Boddie.

Artists and vendors set up shop outside the clubhouse, right next to the statute of Sacagawea and her baby Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, whom the community is named after. Food was sold by Flying Barracuda BBQ and Tacos El Oso Loco.
