After a one-year pandemic hiatus, the Watershed Country Music Festival returned to The Gorge Amphitheatre with eight artists performing on the Main and Next From Nashville stages on Day 1. With the COVID restrictions recently lifted in Washington State, Watershed was probably the first concert for most of the attendees in well over a year. Even with the 102-degree high heat alert, nearly every artist commented how great is was to be back on stage again. The photos are shown in reverse chronological order – from the headliners in the evening on each stage, to the openers in the early afternoon.
