Imagine this: it's a soft summer evening, with a light breeze, in the early twilight before sunset.

Now picture yourself lounging on the grass, sitting at a picnic table or in your own lawn chair listening to the sweet sounds of jazz. Perhaps you'd prefer a Big Band sound, funk, rock or a taste of Cuban Son.

None of those appeal? You could choose some Rockabilly, Calypso or Salsa. And if these don't work for you, check the schedules below, because you can hear almost any type of music you like, at some point in one of Portland's Summer Concerts. For free.

The Neighborhood Concerts, held in the Portland Parks are favorite events in the summer season.

They are one of the many attractions that make our city such a wonderful place to live! Find your favorite park below, or venture out to one you haven't explored yet. Bring a picnic or buy some food at the park, most have local vendors who help sponsor the concerts and have food available.

Dates, locations and times are below for a number of neighborhoods. For even more information visit Portland Parks.
