Where is the monthly event held?

Second Sunday takes place in Northeast Portland at a private home with a beautiful backyard space. To keep it safe and manageable, we don’t publicly list the address — but once you join the community, you’ll get access to everything you need.

How do I find out where to go?

Just join the free community! You'll get the exact address, directions, and parking info before each event.

What’s inside the community?

You’ll find event details (time, date, location), headlining artists, soup of the month, shave ice updates, and a place to RSVP, share photos, or ask questions.

Do I have to RSVP to attend?

Not at all, it’s always open! But if you RSVP inside the community, we’ll send you a reminder and the full event details.

Can I bring my kids, friends, or out-of-town guests?

Of course. Second Sunday is for everyone... families, musicians, introverts, extroverts, locals, and visitors alike.

What kind of music and food can I expect?

Each month is a little different! We feature a rotating lineup of Portland artists and offer handmade soup or salad. In summer, we add a build-your-own shave ice bar.

What if I want to get more involved?

We’d love that. Join the community and reach out, there are always ways to contribute, suggest themes, or help keep the soup stirring.
