Our annual Christmas Dinner sign up is live. We are serving indoors at the Portland Art Museum once again! You are invited to join us for Potluck in the Park’s annual holiday tradition. In partnership with the Portland Art Museum for the 8th year we will be serving our free Christmas Dinner in the Art Museum’s Fred and Suzanne Fields Sunken Ballroom.

After missing 2020 and serving under a tent across the street last year we are excited to be back in the ballroom. That doesn't mean we are giving in to this virus. We will be doing everything we can to keep everyone as safe as possible.

We are just guessing that we will have over 1000 guests again. We will be offering a take-out option for those who are still uncomfortable with an indoor gathering. Serving hours will again be from noon to 3:00pm on Christmas Day.

As always, we will serve a turkey dinner with all the trimmings accompanied by live music from some of Portland's finest jazz musicians. Guests can have their photo taken with Santa and warm wear gifts will be given out.

We will spend the day before, Christmas Eve, turning what is already a beautiful ballroom into a Christmas wonderland with a tree, wreaths, fresh garland and poinsettias from our wholesale florist and nursery supporters.
