Hey there!

Today’s the day! Happy Giving Tuesday, y’all!

Now is your best chance to give back to the nonprofits that give to you throughout the year. Here is a link to our Giving Tuesday campaign!

Fun fact about us: we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and that means that all donations to us are tax-deductible! If that’s not enough of a perk, the Oregon Cultural Trust provides a tax credit if you donate to any nonprofit on their list, and what do you know? OPS Fest is on it!

if you want to help us bring accessible art to your neighborhood next summer, if you enjoy our shows, or if you just believe in what we do, consider giving to OPS Fest today. If you prefer doing things offline, checks can be made out to:

3943 SE Madison St.
Portland, OR 97214

No matter what’s in your budget this Giving Tuesday, every single gift of any amount has a huge impact on our little company. Thank you all so, so much for all of your support this year. This past summer was one for the books, and we can’t wait to see you out in Portland’s lovely parks in 2026!

As always, they are free!

It’s too hot, and unsafe for humans.
