Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel is excited to host a free and family friendly summer street fair right outside of their new home. The community can participate in fun interactive activities designed to help children get active, eat healthy and stay safe.
The drummers were drumming, the dancers were dancing, the horns we’re hooting and boy was the singer singing as Melao de Cuba rocked Dawson park Cuban style.
It will be another busy summer of great family friendly events in Dawson Park this year! The Dawson Park Concert Committee, made up of a few Eliot Neighborhood Association board members, a concert loving resident, and a couple employees from Portland Parks & Recreation, have raised enough sponsorships from our local businesses to host 4 concerts and a movie this summer! These are free to the public and are wonderful events taking place in our own neighborhood. Bring your family, your friends, your dog (on a leash please) a blanket or low “beach” chairs, and your picnic basket.
Gone are the days when going to a sports bar meant visiting a smoke filled, dingy bar with greasy food. Now there is a choice when you want to join fellow fans or rivals for a fun spirited couple of hours cheering on your favorite team. In the last few years several “new generation” sports bars have popped up around town, but none here in Eliot until now.
Dawson Park will host four free concerts this summer! The gazebo will be the stage for the live performances. Concerts begin at 6:30 PM and last about 2 hours. Best of all, the concerts are free!
We have a bargain-hunting lover’s paradise right here in our neighborhood! If you don’t know about the Title Wave Bookstore you will want to check it out. It is located at 216 NE Knott between MLK and Rodney Avenue.

Dawson Park felt alive this summer with so many fantastic events.
In cooperation with Portland Parks and Recreation, the Dawson Park Concert Committee raised enough money from local businesses and generous concert goers to host 4 fabulous concerts in July and August. Neighbors and families from all over Portland were treated with an eclectic variety of free music throughout the summer.
Nothing tastes better than a fresh home-made traditional tortilla stuffed with shades of green avocado, ripe tomato, Tillamook Cheddar Cheese and scrambled eggs covered in a generous topping of green chile crema. I mean nothing. This is what I eat, not on Monday, because the Pepper Box, a food cart at Dreamer’s Marketplace, is closed on Monday but as soon as I can I walk down there every Tuesday around 10 am.

Uroboros is a company named for a symbol of a dragon eating its tail – symbolic of alchemy, the “ancient art” of turning base metals into gold. Eliot’s Uroboros combines sand and other ingredients to produce art glass in 150 sophisticated color combinations in over a dozen styles and textures. Uroboros colors stem from chemicals used in making the glass. Gold produces pinks and purples, copper green, red or aqua blue, cobalt deep blue, and so on. Textures result from rollers used on the molten glass, and manipulation, such as pushing the molten glass to produce ripples.
The Unscriptables, an unscripted theatre company, will host 2 performances in Dawson park on Sundays in August. Shows are on the 7th, 14th and 21st starting at 1pm and 3pm. The first show is geared more toward kids with a “G” rating the the second show toward a slightly older audience with a “PG” rating. All shows are free!
Here is more information on the shows:

Dawson Park will host four free concerts this summer! The gazebo will be the stage for the live performances. Concerts begin at 6:30 PM and last about 2 hours. Best of all, the concerts are free!
