Dear Portland! We still canβt thank you enough for joining us in Payson Park for a magical weekend at the inaugural Back Cove Music & Arts Festival last August. Over the past several months, weβve been working closely with Portland to ensure that Back Cove will return better than ever. The process took time and effort, and because we are committed to putting on the best festival possible for the fans and the community as a whole, weβve made the decision to forego the 2026 calendar year for logistical reasons. We have big things in store for the future of Back Cove, and we look forward to seeing you again in Payson Park in August 2027 and in the years that follow!
