Summer Free For All (SFFA) keeps kids and families active and healthy, builds community, and celebrates Portland’s diverse cultures and local artists by providing free, inclusive, family-friendly summer activities – like live music, movies, crafts, sports, games, and lunches – all summer long.

We are proud to share the 2019 Stories of Summer, our annual report on Summer Free For All-along with a big thank you!

Summer Free For All keeps kids active and healthy, builds community, and celebrates our diverse city by providing free, accessible, family-friendly summer activities-like live music, movies, crafts, sports, games, and lunches.

These programs and activities are possible thanks to the support of local small business owners, corporate donors, private foundations, community organizations, and individuals like you. This year, Portlanders contributed nearly $600,000 in cash and $1.9 million of in-kind support-a record year!

We hope you enjoy these stories and images of fun activities on warm summer days in Portland's parks. We also hope they encourage you to join us again next year.

Thank you for your support and investment in Portland's kids and community!
