Support Portland's rich tradition of Free summer programming in our parks! Donate Today!

The Summer Free For All is a Portland tradition that offers free outdoor events in our parks... more than 40 movies, 50 concerts, and other free activities programmed in all corners of the city.

The City of Portland’s signature free outdoor concert series is the Washington Park Summer Festival, which features 10 days of top quality performers in the Rose Garden Amphitheater.  For 60 years now, Portlanders of all ages have come to Washington Park to enjoy free summer performances from some of our most well-loved musical acts.

Give Where You Live

During this season of giving, we're asking you to reflect on Portland, this place we're lucky enough to call "home."

Despite being a bustling metropolitan city, Portland has more than 10,000 acres of parks and natural spaces. We have fountains, meadows, playing fields and skate parks; we have rose gardens, hiking trails, urban plazas, and we have woods.
