General Event

The Milwaukie Arts Committee is hosting another year of Porchfest! On Friday, July 12, 19, and 26, the community is invited to create music from their own homes, or walk/bike around Milwaukie neighborhoods to enjoy the sights and sounds! Singers, dancers, bagpipers, guitar players, etc. are all encouraged to fill Milwaukie with performance art!

Kids and their families are invited to join us for a delightful 45-minute folk concert with Andy Ferguson, aka “Red Yarn,” and his puppet critters. With traditional and original songs that blend folk, rock’n’roll, country and blues, Red Yarn’s sound is both rooted and modern. His energetic performances will have you singing, dancing, making new friends and experiencing the joy of community at this inclusive family event.

Event is from 5 to 7 p.m. The music begins at 6 p.m. 

Spend a summer evening outdoors enjoying chamber music in the park, with a special performance by cellist Clancy Newman and pianist Stewart Goodyear.

Event is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The music begins at 7 p.m.
