Concerts in the Park | Portland Summer Concert Series 2008 | Free

The Summer Concert Series begins in under two weeks at Sellwood and Mount Tabor Park. This is one of the best free activities Portland has to offer. The concerts are family-friendly and free. It is definitely advisable to bring your pick-i-nick baskets, chairs, and perhaps some wine and beer.

This is a picture from last year at the first Mt Tabor concert. A great feature of the Mount Tabor concerts is the location. It’s warm with good light, but plenty of shade. I’ll see you there.
