Mail Tribune Presents - Britt Festival 2006

Now in its 44th year,

Britt Festivals is the Pacific Northwest's premiere outdoor summer performing arts festival. Located in the historic 1850s gold rush town of Jacksonville, Oregon (USA), Britt presents dozens of summer concerts, featuring world-class artists in classical music, dance, jazz, blues, folk, bluegrass, world, pop and country music.

Britt's performance venue is a naturally formed amphitheater set among majestic ponderosa pines and native madrones on the beautiful hillside estate of 19th century photographer Peter Britt. Viewing a map of the facility will give you clearer picture of how we have combined stadium seating within this natural setting. Tens of thousands of music lovers travel from all over the West to enjoy Britt's world-class performances, spectacular scenery and casual, relaxing atmosphere.

The Britt Festival Guide is created by a collaborative team of Sales and Product Innovation, both divsions of the Mail Tribune. We can provide professional production and design services to market your business or in print and on the Internet. This feature is produced separately from the Mail Tribune News department.
