Celebrate Disability Pride with PHAME!
Join us for our annual celebration marking the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990! This year, we’re proud to partner with Portland Parks & Recreation’s Summer Free For All to present a free, family-friendly outdoor concert at Woodlawn Park in Northeast Portland.
Headlining the evening is local salsa band Conjunto Alegre. PHAME’s Chameleonica and Rock ‘n Roses (that’s the new name for our Rock Ensemble!) will play the opening set. Enjoy inclusive art activities, concessions for sale, and a designated sensory-friendly area. It’s a joyful, welcoming way to wrap up July’s Disability Pride Month—a night filled with music, creativity, and community connection.
Bring a picnic blanket or low-back chair, invite your friends and family, and spend a beautiful summer evening with PHAME!
