Join us at Stevens Pavilion for this special Portland Parks & Recreation Summer Free For All event! It will be a lovely, family-friendly Portland summer evening under the trees with nature activities, arts & crafts, and a special musical performance.
Featuring Portland-local artists:
Brigitta & the Cocktail Cats, bring jazz and piano bar favorites to the Arboretum.
Food at the Event
Arrow Coffee & Desserts will be available for purchase at the event.
Bring a picnic! Stevens Pavilion includes picnic tables, and the meadow behind the Pavilion is a lovely place to spread a blanket under the tall trees.
Getting Here
This event will take place at Stevens Pavilion across the street from the Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center at 4000 SW Fairview Blvd. There are 2, all-gender, accessible bathrooms available outside the building.
Pay-to-park lots are located on Fairview Blvd adjacent to the Visitor Center. See our Plan Your Visit page for more information about parking.
Pro-tip: Skip the parking lot and take public transit!
Hoyt Arboretum is located in Washington Park and is easily accessed from the Washington Park MAX station by Blue or Red MAX lines. Then, you can hop on the Free Washington Park Shuttle OR walk up to the Visitor Center.
Explore Washington Park has generously extended shuttle hours the evening of the event so attendees will be able to take the shuttle back to other park venues and the MAX station after the concert.
This free, family-friendly event is made possible by a partnership between Portland Parks & Recreation Summer Free For All and Hoyt Arboretum Friends.
