Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil

  • Corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey Portland, OR 97232 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The monthly vigil for Keaton Otis is held at 6pm on the 12th of every month. Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster”. Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12 of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join us and community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

Party on, Portland! at Holladay Park (and the Portland Criterium around the Lloyd Center!)

Party on, Portland! at Holladay Park (and the Portland Criterium around the Lloyd Center!)

Sunday, August 16, 2026
11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Holladay Park, Portland, OR
Free and open to all!

Join us for one of Portland’s best community events of the summer! The POP! Party (Party on, Portland!) is back, and this year, it’s happening alongside the Portland Criterium, making for an unforgettable day of fun, energy, and connection in the Lloyd neighborhood.

What is the Portland Criterium?

The Portland Criterium – Presented by Steeplejack Brewing – is a high-speed, closed-course bike race where elite cyclists compete on a short, fast loop through city streets.

Riders complete dozens of laps around the Lloyd Center, taking tight corners at top speed and thrilling crowds with every pass. It’s fast. It’s loud. It’s incredibly fun to watch as a few thousand people come out to cheer!

The race takes over the streets surrounding Lloyd Center from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a beer garden and unbeatable, up-close views of the action. Learn more about the Porland Criterium here.

What’s happening at the POP! Party?

While the Crit racers zoom by, Holladay Park becomes a center of celebration with activities for all ages, families, and neighbors. We’re still working out the details, but we hope POP! will feature:

  • DJs and commentary by drag performers

  • Lawn games and carnival-style activities

  • Splash pad fun and misting stations

  • Temporary tattoos, arts & crafts, and hands-on art

  • Bike cheer stations and sign-making to support racers

  • Free giveaways and nonstop summer vibes

  • 20 local organizations, small businesses, and community groups

Whether you’re a bike racing fan, a community enthusiast, or just looking for something joyful to do, this is the place to be. Come for the party, stay for the race, or the other way around. Either way, you’ll be right in the middle of something special.

Interested in tabling or hosting an activity at POP! Party at Holladay Park?

Interested in tabling with us? If you aren’t selling anything, you’re welcome to join! Activities and giveaways are highly encouraged! If you’d like to get involved or support POP! Party, fill out this form. Contact us with any questions!

POP! Party at Holladay Park is organized and supported by:

Final Food Court 5000 @ Lloyd Center

Final Food Court 5000

The Food Court 5000, a Portland-based, retro-fitness, mall-walking movement and possibly the best reason to dust off your spandex and hit the mall. They are a community of fast-walking, snack-loving, retro-fabulous weirdos who believe that fitness should be fun, free, and just the right amount of ridiculous.

Saturday at 11am, they gather at Lloyd Center Mall for an hour and a half of high-energy strutting, power-walking, and occasional jazz hands. It’s part workout, part performance art, and all-around a great excuse to take over a shopping mall in the name of nostalgia and movement.

What do they do?

  • Power-walk like they’rebeing chased by an aggressive kiosk salesperson

  • Maybe break into spontaneous mall aerobics (no promises, but high probability)

  • Make the Lloyd Center their own personal runway

This isn’t your grandma’s mall-walking club (though she’s definitely invited). They encourage spandex, windbreakers, neon, and making questionable but fabulous fashion choices.

No sign-ups, no fees, no judgment! Just sweaty camaraderie and a mall takeover that might one day be outlawed.

So, lace up, show up, and walk like you just saw your ex by the food court.

Food Court 5000 @ Lloyd Center

Food Court 5000

The Food Court 5000, a Portland-based, retro-fitness, mall-walking movement and possibly the best reason to dust off your spandex and hit the mall. They are a community of fast-walking, snack-loving, retro-fabulous weirdos who believe that fitness should be fun, free, and just the right amount of ridiculous.

Every Sunday at 11 AM, they gather at Lloyd Center Mall for an hour and a half of high-energy strutting, power-walking, and occasional jazz hands. It’s part workout, part performance art, and all-around a great excuse to take over a shopping mall in the name of nostalgia and movement.

What do they do?

  • Power-walk like they’re being chased by an aggressive kiosk salesperson

  • Maybe break into spontaneous mall aerobics (no promises, but high probability)

  • Make the Lloyd Center their own personal runway

This isn’t your grandma’s mall-walking club (though she’s definitely invited). They encourage spandex, windbreakers, neon, and making questionable but fabulous fashion choices.

No sign-ups, no fees, no judgment! Just sweaty camaraderie and a mall takeover that might one day be outlawed.

So, lace up, show up, and walk like you just saw your ex by the food court.

This event is based in Peace Memorial Park and covers the surrounding areas (Eastbank Esplanade, Duckworth Dock, Moda Center, and Convention Center). The clean-up event will include trash pick-up, sprucing up Peace Memorial Park, and painting over or removing graffiti around the area.

Peace Memorial Park, located at the intersection of NE Oregon Street and NE Lloyd Boulevard, is connected to the Eastbank Esplanade and offers sweeping views of the Willamette River and downtown skyline. Established to honor victims of war, both military and civilian, the park is an important public space that benefits from ongoing community care.

Advanced registration is required to participate. Volunteers are encouraged to wear closed-toed shoes, dress for the weather, and bring a reusable water bottle. A backpack is recommended for hands-free convenience, and personal tools are welcome if available. All cleanup supplies, including safety vests, gloves, litter grabbers, paint, and graffiti removal materials, will be provided, along with water and snacks.

Peace Memorial Park is less than a five-minute walk from the Rose Quarter MAX Station, and walking or biking is encouraged. Metered street parking and private lots are available nearby. The site is accessible for people with mobility concerns. Please note that no public restrooms will be available on site. All ages are welcome to participate.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil

  • Corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey Portland, OR 97232 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The monthly vigil for Keaton Otis is held at 6pm on the 12th of every month. Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster”. Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12 of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join us and community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.
