Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Siletz Bay Music Festival, an expanded 11-day celebration of chamber, jazz and orchestral music running from August 13 through 23 across five venues in Lincoln City and Newport. This summer's festival features 12 concerts performed by nearly 60 world-class artists, blending seldom-heard masterworks with beloved audience favorites.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Mei-Ting Sun and new Executive Director Daniel Pack the festival will present new faces this year alongside many of the more familiar artists who have helped the series evolve throughout 15 seasons into the Central Oregon Coast's premiere cultural event.

This year's festival will include two chamber concerts in Newport and two free concerts, including a family-friendly afternoon outdoor performance at Lincoln City's new Schooner Creek Discovery Park stage. The festival's orchestra, under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor Johann Stuckenbruck, will perform in Taft High School's newly updated performance space.

Concerts venues also include the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the Congregational Church of Lincoln City and the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center in Newport. A jazz concert on August 20, a gala benefit on August 21 and two orchestral concerts will conclude the festival at Taft High School.

Discount packages for multiple events are available, as well as student pricing for all concerts except Musical Tapas and the Benefit Concert. The Congregational Church of Lincoln City concert on August 18 and the outdoor family performance at Schooner Creek Discovery Park are free and open to the public.
