The Pink Light District

A community-powered arts, entertainment, and nightlife district in the heart of Old Town.

The Pink Light District is a grassroots movement bringing new energy, visibility, and vibrancy to downtown Portland. Stretching from West Burnside to Pine Street and from Naito Parkway to 6th Avenue, the district connects some of the city's most iconic destinations through a shared pink-light identity and a commitment to community.

Home to beloved landmarks like the Paris Theatre, Kit Kat Club, Voodoo Doughnut, Saturday Market, the Waterfront Cherry Blossoms, and the city's iconic Big Pink tower, the district celebrates everything that makes Portland creative, quirky, and unforgettable.

Through public art, live performance, nightlife, seasonal events, markets, and community gatherings, the Pink Light District supports local artists, small businesses, and cultural institutions while creating a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming downtown experience. By encouraging activity on the streets and collaboration between neighbors, we help build a district where culture drives commerce and community creates momentum.

Whether you're visiting for a show, meeting friends for a night out, discovering local art, or simply taking a walk beneath the glow of pink lights, you're invited to experience Portland's most colorful neighborhood.
