Lloyd Commuter Happy Hour Ride

Due to the heat, the date has changed for this event. The new date is July 22, 5-6pm.

Want to learn who works in your building or get to know people you see on your lunch break? Meet fellow Lloyd commuters and get to know each other.

This is a super casual, 3.5 mile ride—the goal of this ride is connection more than a workout! We'll stop at several local highlights to chat, then end at Steeplejack to continue the conversation.

Meet in the center of Holladay Park at 5pm, activities will begin at 5:10.

Come on a Bike Summer ride with Go Lloyd and Lloyd EcoDistrict to discover the hidden gems that reveal why there’s more to Lloyd than meets the eye! The tour will end at Duckworth Dock for Lloyd Live: At the Dock, where you can enjoy the sunset on the river or take a swim!

Go Lloyd will be joined by our partner at Lloyd EcoDistrict, who is on a mission to transform Lloyd into one of the most sustainable neighborhoods in North America, championing equity, resilience, and climate protection. As Oregon’s first and only certified EcoDistrict / Just Growth community, Lloyd is setting the standard for collaborative, holistic development.

Hop on your bike and join us for an engaging ride through Lloyd, where we’ll explore how we’re turning EcoDistrict concepts into real-world innovations. Along the way, you’ll see the nation’s first pollinator bike corridor, cutting-edge water treatment systems, sustainable buildings, resilience infrastructure, vibrant murals, important memorials, redesigned parks, community gardening projects, and more.

Come see for yourself how Lloyd is leading the way in creating a sustainable, resilient urban community. Get ready for a tour filled with inspiration, education, and a glimpse into the future Lloyd!

We’ll meet at 5:00 PM in the middle of Holladay Park, and begin our ride at 5:15. We’ll end the ride around 6:45 PM at Duckworth Dock for Lloyd Live: At the Dock. Here you can dive into the best swimming hole in Portland’s central city, located on the Eastbank Esplanade, with live tunes provided by Bike DJ PopCartPDX. This car-free oasis is only accessible by foot or wheels with many bike racks available right on the dock. Swim ladders along the dock make it safe and easy for everyone to join in the fun.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Aug
12

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.

All painting supplies provided. Just bring your enthusiasm (and clothes you don’t mind getting paint on)!

🎨 About the Mural

The Lloyd Intersection Mural was originally painted in 2017 with artists Jon Stommel & Travis Czekalski of Rather Severe and supported by City Repair, Color Outside the Lines, and dozens of community volunteers. It’s been refreshed in 2019 and 2022—and with your help, we’ll keep this swirling burst of color alive and evolving!

Let’s paint the street and celebrate community—together!

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Sep
12

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.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Jun

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.

Mobility Committee

Go Lloyd’s Mobility Committee works to make biking, walking, and rolling in Lloyd safe, fun, convenient, and easy for everyone.

If you are passionate about bicycle and pedestrian rights, infrastructure, and activities in the Lloyd neighborhood, then join us for an open, informal discussion every second Tuesday of the month from 1 to 2 PM at Go Lloyd.

This month, we won’t have a remote-joining option since we will be doing a transit stop audit! Join us to evaluate local bus and MAX stops and learn how to report issues to TriMet. We will start gathering on Hassalo Plaza at 12:55 PM and then take off on our walk. Reach out with any questions.

Annual Spring Rose Show

Annual Spring Rose Show

The Portland Rose Society Annual Spring Rose Show is the largest and longest-running rose show in the nation. The exquisite beauty and fragrances of this yearly show emanate from more than 4,000 blooms. Entry is open to anyone, and all entrants are encouraged. Rose growers from across the Pacific Northwest participate, and some 6,000 spectators from across the country are expected to visit this year’s Spring Rose Show. Sparkling trophies go to those entrants who grow the most beautiful roses.


ADMISSION IS FREE

Show schedule is available on the PRS website.

Mrs. Henry Pittock, wife of the first Oregonian publisher, along with some of her neighbors and friends, established the Portland Rose Society in 1889. Their vision was that Portlanders would perpetuate the glory of the rose throughout the years. Their dream has been kept in focus for more than a century by dedicated rose gardeners. From the first rose show in Mrs. Pittock’s own garden in King Heights to today’s extravaganzas at the Lloyd Center, the Rose Society has kept alive the intent and purpose of growing and showing the best of the best of roses for the enjoyment of the citizens of Portland.

Today, the Portland Rose Society has around 600 members. Aside from presenting one of the premier rose shows in the United States, the group has built the Gold Medal Garden and the Pavilion at the Washington Park International Rose Test Garden, and it aids in the rose pruning there. The society also conducts many rose pruning demonstrations in late winter, sponsors two other rose shows and gives free rose growing advice and assistance to those who request it. Membership is open to all who are interested in roses whether it’s one or two in a pot or a thousand in a garden.

For more information, call 971-251-0604 or visit the Portland Rose Society.
