Portland’s favorite monthly celebration of art, creativity, and community is kicking off its 26th season on Thursday, April 2nd!
About this Event

Starting Thursday, April 2nd - Thursday, October 1st, enjoy a vibrant monthly outdoor street gallery featuring 150+ artists. Every First Thursday, local artists + makers transform NW 13th Avenue into a bustling pedestrian scene that welcomes thousands of attendees. You’ll find an inclusive and dynamic mix of talented creatives, ranging from fine artists with decades of experience to emerging makers and designers sharing their work for the very first time!

Guests will enjoy an upbeat vibe and welcoming scene where they can talk directly with artists, discover one-of-a-kind pieces, and connect with fellow art lovers while enjoying delicious foods from neighboring bars and restaurants. The Pearl District comes alive with music, movement, and artist energy and with different artists cycling through, every month is a little different, making it the perfect event to keep coming back to!

Come celebrate this incredible Portland tradition and learn why after 26 years, this First Thursday tradition is going strong!
