ALBINA! Stand up.
Albina Vision Trust is proud to partner with Good in the Hood to celebrate another year of the roots, rhythm, and power that have always defined these blocks. We invite you to join us a few blocks south for the Lower Albina Block Party at Albina One and Paramount Apartments (1771 N. Flint Ave), presented by AVT and COLAS CONSTRUCTION.
This year’s theme — “Reclaim the District” — honors the rich cultural legacy that continues to bind Portland’s Black community in Albina and reflects AVT’s role in stewarding the largest restorative redevelopment effort in the country. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape what is built in Portland’s central city, how it’s built, and who it’s built for.
We’re starting the day by refreshing the “Emergence of Joy” street mural in front of Albina One.
Originally created to welcome the first families back to Lower Albina in more than 40 years, this mural represents joy, return, and possibility. This year, community members of all ages are invited to help renew it—making it a collective expression of art, memory, and reclamation.
At noon, we’re kicking off the block party like only WE can with:
Live performances
Family-friendly games and activities
Local vendors and community organizations
Interactive art and cultural activations
This day will be a heavy lift, so share your Albina spirit by lending a helping hand. Fill out the volunteer form below.
