Bringing communities together through shared experiences, culture, and connection.
Three days. One city. Every culture welcome.
A three-day public celebration of Portland's living cultural landscape, held at Cathedral Park under the St. Johns Bridge in September 2027. Built by the community, for the community — entirely free, entirely open. Every performer is paid. Every neighbor is welcome. Every table has a seat.
Every event we host shares the same values that run through everything THTF does.
Every THTF event is built around genuine cultural exchange — not performance for an outside audience, but community sharing with and for itself.
The communities we serve are the hosts, performers, cooks, and storytellers — not the subjects. Every event is shaped by the people at the center of it.
No tickets. No registration. No barriers. Every event THTF hosts is free to attend and designed to be genuinely accessible to the communities it serves.
We actively create opportunities for local vendors, artists, and community organizations to participate — not just attend. Events are economic opportunities too.
Additional community gatherings, cultural celebrations, and neighborhood events are in development. Community suggestions are actively shaping what comes next.
