Sunshine, lawn chairs and new music: Fresh Air Fest is back!

Join us at Wapato Island Farm for a family-friendly day of picnic dinners, drinks, and a distinctly 3A lineup. Electronic indie band Balún headlines with their musical and cultural fluency that spans from their traditional Puerto Rican roots to the dancehalls of Brooklyn. Their genre-defying sound has been called “dreambow,” a mix of dembow drum patterns, and the hazy synths of 80s “dream pop”. 

The 3A String Quartet pays tribute to the Multnomah Tribe’s sacred land, and to Wapato Island Farm’s Latinx roots, in this program of works by Latinx and North & South American Indigenous composers. From Gabriela Ortiz’s dream sequences and pounding Mexican rhythms, to Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate’s reimagining of a Hopi Pueblo Buffalo Dance, to Paquito d’Rivera’s inspiration in the Mexican huapango, come feel the rhythm of the earth and its people.

Between sets, you can experience a soundwalk composed by Gerardo Calderon in response to the land, sky and tributaries of Wapato Island. You are also welcome to enjoy food, drinks and handmade goods from our local vendors.
