Portland’s “Summer Free For All” is back in 2023, bringing joy to music and movie lovers! With its concerts and movies in the park, this bonanza offers an incredible experience under the stars all summer long. Pack a blanket & bevvies and check out the downloadable schedule below to plan your free summer fun in Portland’s favorite parks.
From local bands to renowned artists, the music lineup promises to be diverse and captivating. And the movie screenings? They’ll transport you & the whole family to different worlds with a nice array of summer classics (Jumanji, Big) and newer releases (Wakanda Forever & The Super Mario Brothers Movie).

Bring your friends and let the concerts in the park be the soundtrack to your PDX summer adventures!
