The Party Starts at Sundown!

There’s nothing like those warm July summer nights. A time for sandals, cool drinks, and hot music at the fifth annual Sundown Concerts!

Ecotrust is heating up July evenings with the fifth edition of the Sundown Concerts. Sundown is everything that makes summer so great in Portland – equal parts indie concert, block party, and classic Portland street fair. It’s back for an even better fifth year, Thursdays in July starting 7/10 at 5:30 pm, at the Ecotrust Natural Capital Center. And it’s still free!

In case you are not aware of the organization, Ecotrust is working to build a new economy that restores nature and invests in people. Ecotrust’s many innovations include co-founding the nation’s first environmental bank, starting the world’s first ecosystem investment fund, creating a range of programs in fisheries, forestry, food, farms and indigenous affairs, and developing new scientific and informational tools to improve social, economic, and environmental decision-making. Ecotrust works locally in ways that promise hope abroad, and it honors and supports the wisdom of Native and First Nations leadership in its work.
