Discover the Ultimate Music Adventure at the 2026 South Coast Clambake Music Festival!
Do you enjoy great music, fun, and adventure? If so, you’ll love the South Coast Clambake Music Festival coming up March 12-15, 2026, on Oregon’s Adventure Coast in Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston. If you haven’t experienced this popular annual festival yet, 2026 is the perfect time to join in. The event is so large that it takes over four performance venues, all under one roof at Ko-Kwel Casino Resort in North Bend (formerly The Mill Casino Hotel & RV Park).
You might be curious about why it’s called a “Clambake” Music Festival, when they don’t serve clams! We get that question often. In music, “clambake” is an old jazz term for a jam session, so while this isn’t a food festival, the Ko-Kwel Casino Resort offers several dining options, and you’ll find plenty of fresh seafood at local restaurants throughout Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston .
This year’s festival brings together bands from across the country, covering everything from traditional jazz and 50’s rock to swing, doo-wop, blues, big band, and more. You can enjoy the smooth sounds of Shaymus Hanlin Quartet and the Alpha Rhythm Kings, as well as the soulful blues of Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle . Other highlights include the energetic rockabilly of Gino & The Lone Gunmen and the lively tunes of Dave Stuckey & The Hot House Gang . You can also catch performances by Fenix Rising , Jay SI Proof , Lisa Mann Power Trio , Rae Gordon Band , Tom Rigney & Flambeau , The Throttles, and more. There’s plenty of great music to look forward to!
