PORTLAND, Ore. — The Lot at Zidell Yards released its summer lineup of live music, movies and events for 2021. The events begin in late May and go through August. The Lot at Zidell Yards is a former shipyard that has been converted into an outdoor venue on Portland's south waterfront, between the Tillikum Crossing and Ross Island bridges.
One of the highlights of the summer will be the Waterfront Blues Festival, scheduled for July 2-5. Other events planned for the venue include Portland Pride, a series of film and music hosted in partnership with Hollywood Theatre and more live music. See a complete list of events at the bottom of this article.
Christina Fuller, co-owner and partner of Fuller Events of Portland, said they’re excited to bring live shows back to the community this summer in an environment that’s safe for performers and the audience. In April, Fuller talked to KGW about their plans for the space, which will have small pods where smaller groups can gather.

“We’re building out a socially distant outdoor performance venue, knowing that events look different,” said Christina Fuller of Fuller Events. “So you’ll get the experience of sharing the moment of the live music or the charity auction or the festival, but still within appropriate spacing and the comfort of being around people that you choose to be around.”
The plan for The Lot at Zidell Yards also includes food service, a stage for performers and an enormous 16-by-30-foot LED screen to highlight live shows or show movies.
Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday at thelotatzidellyards.com.
