Fostering Traditional Music and Dance in the Pacific Northwest
The heart of the community
Bubbaville is a nonprofit group named after the late, great square dance caller, musician and community organizer Bill “Bubba” Martin. Based in Portland, Oregon, we serve to bring together musicians, dancers and other friends of traditional music on the West Coast. Each January we present our flagship event, the Portland Old Time Music Gathering.
Portland Klezmer Festival is coming up!
November 2-5, 2023
Join us for a weekend of concerts, workshops, dancing, and communal music-making as we celebrate Eastern-European Jewish music and culture.
Featuring music by local and national klezmer artists.
Looking for our support?
Since 2008, Bubbaville has provided funding, promotion and support for dozens of projects tied to our mission. The organization has brought to the Portland region numerous performers and teachers. We’ve also funded campouts, albums, dances and more. Have an idea for a project? Let us know!
