WE KNOW THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT AND WE KNOW THIS SUMMER WILL BE JOYFUL

ABOUT THE LOT

The Lot at Zidell Yards brought everyone in our city together to celebrate everything that makes our city awesome. From late May to September 2021, The Lot featured a diverse line up of weekly programming. In addition to events produced by The Lot Team, we also invited Portland’s most beloved performing arts organizations, cultural institutions, and charities to take the stage as we welcome the return of live events to Portland. 

The Lot featured a full stage, large format LED screen, a site-specific sound system and an on-site food and beverage program; all for you to enjoy with you quaran-team from the comfort of your socially-distanced seating pod. ​

​SOME OF THE TYPES OF EVENTS WE ENJOYED AT THE LOT INCLUDE:

• Live Music
• Theater Performances
• Movie Screenings
• Food & Drink Events​​

• ​Family-Friendly Programming
• Health & Wellness Events
• Charity Auctions
• And more!
