Lloyd Live: At the Dock – DJ Wednesdays

Sunset sounds, riverside bites, and bike-in summer joy.

Overview
Lloyd Live: At the Dock is a free, weekly summer event series celebrating music, community, and Portland’s eastside riverfront. Every Wednesday from July 2 to August 27, 2025, we invite neighbors, commuters, and sunset-lovers to enjoy vinyl DJ sets, food, and scenic joy along the Eastbank Esplanade.

While the Kevin J. Duckworth Dock remains open to the public for sunset viewing, lounging, and swim-at-your-own-risk access, our official programming is land-based and takes place on the wings of the Esplanade just north of the dock.

Wednesdays, July 2 – August 27, 5:30–8:30 PM
