Our Gardens are on sale now, August 30th is our season opener! Garden concerts have always solved a simple problem: how do you bring people together when indoor gathering isn’t an option. Vauxhall Gardens did it in 1700s London. Spa towns did it with their outdoor bandstands. Open air just works when walls don’t.
45th Parallel got there first in Portland, par usual! Tapping into the garden concert wasn’t a workaround — it was the obvious answer, the one people have been reaching for since long before orchestras had concert halls to miss. Ahead of the curve then, ahead of the curve now.
Tickets on sale now on our website!
