Concerts in the Parks
Every summer I find myself sifting through lists and lists of free events and series around Portland and making myself a calendar full of potential things to do each day.
The Concerts in the Park series is something I look forward to every summer. Due to earlier bedtime, we don’t make it to nearly as many as I would like to. Every Tuesday evening (tonight!) at 6:30 there is a concert right up the hill (oh, but what a hill) in Mt Tabor Park. They also have a pre-concert craft time for kids at 6pm. We made it last week, and might just make it tonight….. Melao de Cuba, salsa party! Sounds like a fun one.
The other series I’m looking forward to is the Washington Park Summer Festival in August. If we only make it to one concert up there this summer, I want to see Do Jump on Aug 13th. Physical Theater and acrobatics. They even offer camps and classes for aspiring acrobats, babies on up! Add it to the list of amazing classes for kids in Portland. This city is a homeschooler’s paradise.
Off to eat some shrimp gumbo, thanks to our Cooking Co-op, then maybe head up the hill…
