Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.
Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.
His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.
Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

Party on, Portland! at Holladay Park (and the Portland Criterium around the Lloyd Center!)
Join us for one of Portland’s best community events of the summer! The POP! Party (Party on, Portland!) is back, and this year, it’s happening alongside the Portland Criterium, making for an unforgettable day of fun, energy, and connection in the Lloyd neighborhood.
What is the Portland Criterium?
The Portland Criterium – Presented by Steeplejack Brewing – is a high-speed, closed-course bike race where elite cyclists compete on a short, fast loop through city streets.
Riders complete dozens of laps around the Lloyd Center, taking tight corners at top speed and thrilling crowds with every pass. It’s fast. It’s loud. It’s incredibly fun to watch as a few thousand people come out to cheer!
The race takes over the streets surrounding Lloyd Center from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a beer garden and unbeatable, up-close views of the action. Learn more about the Portland Criterium here.
What’s happening at the POP! Party?
While the Crit racers zoom by, Holladay Park becomes a center of celebration with activities for all ages, families, and neighbors. We’re still working out the details, but we hope POP! will feature:
DJs and commentary by drag performers
Lawn games and carnival-style activities
Splash pad fun and misting stations
Temporary tattoos, arts & crafts, and hands-on art
Bike cheer stations and sign-making to support racers
Free giveaways and nonstop summer vibes
20 local organizations, small businesses, and community groups
Whether you’re a bike racing fan, a community enthusiast, or just looking for something joyful to do, this is the place to be. Come for the party, stay for the race, or the other way around. Either way, you’ll be right in the middle of something special.
Interested in tabling or hosting an activity at POP! Party at Holladay Park?

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.
Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.
His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.
Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.
