Free Symphony & Fireworks!
I almost forgot about the annual free concert by the Oregon Symphony at Waterfront Park – I’ve been once – several years ago – but it’s one of those things I never remember in time to go.
But I just looked out my window and saw ’something’ being erected down in the south bowl at Waterfront Park and had an AHA moment!
Tomorrow evening the Portland Youth Philharmonic and the Oregon Symphony will play a free concert which closes – as it does every year – with Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture complete with cannons and fireworks!
Portland Youth Philharmonic Program – starts at 5 PM
Oregon Symphony Program – starts at 7 PM


Thanks, I was wondering what the event was. I like the stage facing south setup. Allows the audience to watch the sunset simultaneously if available.
Hey! I can hear them rehearsing right now….go down for a sneak peak if you can!
So that’s what it was. I live in Old Town and saw a little bit of the fireworks. Darn. I would have liked to go to that and I was available.
There needs to be a central calendar of all the events that go on in P-town…
