Enjoy our free monthly concert series with top Portland musicians! Pack a lunch or stop by one of the many eateries at NE 24th and Glisan, bring your food in (no pork or shellfish, please) and come hear the music! These concerts are semi-acoustic and always enlivening. What better thing is there to do on a Friday afternoon?!
