Lloyd Live: At the Dock – Live Music Thursdays

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 Thursday from July 3 to August 28, 2025, we invite neighbors, commuters, and sunset-lovers to enjoy a rotating lineup of live music, food, and riverside connection 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.

Thursdays, July 3 – August 28, 5:30–8:30 PM
