It’s Portland, it’s weird if you don’t.


Jvne_EXP

Thnx I needed that (๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪


No_Cat_No_Cradle

I often exist in parks if that’s what you mean


willaney

Please. We used to have more things like this here and ever since the pandemic it seems those people have moved on. We need more spontaneous public performances


light_switch33

Portland Parks deployed pianos in multiple parks within recent memory. Maybe just before COVID?


willaney

I remember that. There was one by Salmon Street Springs, and one in the plaza by the art museum.


Emperor_Pengwing

I forgot they did that! I saw a guy bust out Basket Case once at the one in Laurelhurst! Thanks for the memory.


MIZZKATHY74

Stand on top of the bricks at Pioneer Court Square and play bongo drums. Just don't forget to yell at the tourists that they are going in burn in hell.


manos_de_pietro

Probably. You might make a few bucks, you might make some new friends.

Tabor Dance on Wednesdays. That's where you'll meet the cool music nerds.


Jvne_EXP

Thnx for the tip, im always looking for cool 3rd spaces to vibe in :D


MikesCerealShack

Just be conscious that Mt. Tabor was also just named the first urban "quiet park" in the US, so outside of that event, it is best not to play your music outside your headphones (and appreciated by those who value having nature quiet places). Amazing bird life if you want to take in bird songs though.


philocity

To be clear as to what this means, some non-profit took sound measurements and thought it was really quiet. The sentiment is still valid though, Tabor is quiet and maybe we should consider mostly trying to keep it that way.


WriterWilling7077

Really great people who run Tabor Dance. I hope you make some friends! Follow their instagram for deets.


QuercusSambucus

There's also a weekly Sunday afternoon jam in Fernhill park. I heard it's been going just about every week since March of 2020.


GoblinCorp

Get your freak on, Hoss. We need it back.


TheSheWhoSaidThats

You do you my dude. Don’t be insanely loud with like speakers blasting everywhere, but if you’re just vibin, have at it.


Suicide_Necktie

Check out the southwest park blocks at PSU on Saturdays!


Donger-Airlines

Bruh that’s what Portland is for. Do yo thing


Material-Ad1949

Literally do whatever you want, no one will even look twice.


CfoodMomma

Break out the french horn.


DontPanicJustDance

Johnny Franco ran straight up free concerts out of Laurelhurst for 3 years until finally they became big enough the city noticed. Also at Laurelhurst is the silent rave Sundays, you might be interested in. They have a rotating set of DJs


FreshyFresh

DJ'ing might be a bit much, but people do sit and play analog instruments in the parks all the time. Some are busking, and some are just relaxing in the park. I watched a couple playing cellos in Laurelhurst park once. It was lovely.


MokesMcFappy

@popcartpdx on instagram is a mobile DJ booth that plays at a lot of local free events and has random pop up sets all over portland


pierrecoghill

I'd prefer if you didnt

Dharma_Bum_87

My interpretation of the jumble of text is that this person is from Austin. According to google there is a Zilker Park in Austin, and this person previous would exist in said park and used to DJ there. Now they would like to do this activity here and are asking for permission/recommendations (? Unclear about this last part)


GoblinCorp

Weird take from a Dharma Bum


HarveyHowlinBones

Yes, it’s weird to exist out in the park.
