The 2026 Pearl Party is Saturday, September 19th!

It's officially our favorite time of year in the Pearl! Mark your calendars, because the Pearl Party is back on NW 13th Ave (between Hoyt & Irving) on September 19th, 2026, from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM, and it's completely free.

Live music all afternoon, local food and drink, and artisan vendors will line the street with that special community energy that only happens in the Pearl. Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring your appetite: there's even a Mustang Wranglers Car Show to check out between bites.

As Sara Eanni, Chair of the PDNA Business Support Committee, put it: "the excitement around this year's event is even bigger than last year's, and there's a renewed energy in Portland that hasn't been felt in years." We couldn't agree more! There's nowhere we'd rather be than out on the street with our neighbors, celebrating everything that makes this district so special.
