2026 Concert in Kenton Park

Over 1600 friends danced to Soul Vaccination, enjoying delicious food, playing lawn games, getting awesome face paint designs, learning about community resources, and hanging out with friends.

Kenton Neighborhood Association volunteers passed out fresh fruit, juice boxes, bubble wands, stickers, and temporary tattoos.

Huge thanks to our partners at the Portland Parks and Recreation Summer Free For All program, and local businesses — Upland Autowerks, Don Lee Motors, Import Repair Center, Whole Foods, Columbia Bank, Safeway, and Trader Joe’s — for sponsoring the snacks and activities.

Hundreds of people picnicking and hanging out on a lush open space surrounded by trees.
