HONK PDX

HONK! PDX is a Portland community festival celebrating brass bands, street music, and the shared experience of making music in public spaces. Scheduled for July 25–26, 2026, the festival is free and inclusive, welcoming people to gather, participate, and enjoy performances among the community. Its guiding idea is that creative expression can bring people together and help reclaim public space through the joy of music. HONK! PDX encourages audiences not only to watch, but to join in building a more connected and positive community.

The festival features brass and street bands, with a program that includes a band line-up, event details, and a festival map. Its website also shares musical influences and principles of unity, offers information about past performances, and highlights coverage by local media and community voices. People can support the HONK! movement by volunteering or donating, and stay connected through the festival’s subscription option. Through lively performances and community participation, HONK! PDX brings music directly into Portland neighborhoods and public gathering places.
