The “Noon Tunes” free Pioneer Square concert series began yesterday. That makes three great ongoing free events in Portland along with Concerts in the Park and Movies in the Park. This is the 21st year of Noon Tunes and there are shows every Tuesday and Thursday. There will also be a “Taste of Portland Farmer’s Market” held from 11AM-2PM each Noon Tunes concert day. It’s normally not too crowded, so you can get a seat and good view even if you get there during the show. However, The Builders and Butchers are playing in August, so that should packed!

The Dead Kenny G’s
Saturday, July 9
