McMenamins has released the names of bands that will play at its Edgefield property this summer.
Why it matters: The Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn are some of the best nights of music you can have in the Pacific Northwest.
What to expect: The venue at 2126 SW Halsey St., 15 miles east of downtown Portland, includes a hotel, but most people are happy to park on the giant grassy field.
Pro tip: Don't lose your car keys in the dark.
