Serendipity will be at work for this year’s Portland Parks & Recreation’s Free Lunch + Play. When families go to select PP&R parks for the free meals and activities for all children under 18, they may happen to stumble upon a free concert or pop-up cultural event.
While the time and place of the Free Lunch + Plays will be published ahead of time, the pop-ups will be unannounced. This reimagined version of free summer concerts allows PP&R the opportunity to bring back music and cultural events to our parks while limiting crowds.
Free lunch in the park could end up being your family’s most exciting part of the week!
Free Lunch + Play will run June 21 through August 20, unless otherwise noted.
No programming on July 5, in observance of Independence Day.
Check the PP&R website for additional Mobile Lunch + Play locations at apartment complexes and parks.
