Our Lents International and Kenton Farmers Markets operate in historically diverse neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon. We are interested in highlighting performances that showcase the vibrant cultures that exist in these communities.
Do you have your own sound equipment?*
Amplification is a delicate balance in our markets, each having different needs. At Lents International, performers may use amplification or play acoustically. In contrast, at Kenton, we do require amplification. We can provide a portable power station (BLUETTI AC180, 1800W, 1152Wh) and a PA system available for use. However, we encourage performers to use their own equipment whenever possible.
