Summer Community Concert Series

Thursdays at 6 p.m. at the Fort Allen Park Bandstand

Friends of the Eastern Promenade finds great joy in hosting our annual free, family-friendly Community Concert Series. For more than a decade, people of all ages have attended our concerts with lawn chairs, blankets, hula-hoops and smiles; food truck have provided an assortment of delicious local cuisine; a variety of musical genres from Maine and beyond have provided sounds for everyone to enjoy while watching the sun set and the moon rise over the bay. It is a wonderful joining of people & an example of a strong community in its truest form.

Annual Park Pick-Up

2023 Dates TBA

This environmentally inclined effort began in 1995 and became a formal program of Friends of the Eastern Promenade in 2006. Under the organization’s direction, this program continues to grow, with satellite locations throughout Portland and adjacent cities that involve over 200 participants. In 2018 we changed the name of the event from “April Stools Day” to “Annual Park Pickup.”

In addition to our hands-on clean up of parks, beaches and neighborhoods, we educate participants on the importance of proper disposal of all waste. In past years our cleanup effort has included the following areas in Portland and surrounding neighborhoods: Eastern Promenade Park, East End Beach, Fort Allen Park and trail, Loring Memorial trail & Ocean Avenue Dog Park.

Join your community and help clean up the park and neighborhood of rubbish, refuse and doggie doo.
