Sunset sounds, riverside breezes, and bike-in summer joy at Dockwork Dock on the Eastbank Esplanade. Lloyd Live: At the Dock is a free, weekly summer event series celebrating music, community, and Portland’s eastside riverfront. Every Wednesday from July 1 to August 26, 2026, Lloyd EcoDistrict invites neighbors, visitors, commuters, and sunset-lovers to enjoy vinyl DJ sets and scenic joy along the Eastbank Esplanade and the Willamette River.
Wednesdays, July 1 – August 26 (plus a special Friday night on September 11 alongside Portland Staycation). As the sun sets earlier in late August/September, music may wrap up a little earlier around 8:00 p.m.
