Summer Shred Music Festival is back!! — and we need your help to make it happen. After an incredible inaugural year, we’re returning on Saturday, August 15, 2026 to bring Portland another free, all-ages celebration of local rock, metal, punk, art, and community. This festival exists to put loud, local music in front of the people in unmistakably Portland way.

But we can’t do it without support. We’re raising funds now to cover the real costs of making Summer Shred 2026 happen — including stage, sound, lighting, permits, and all the behind-the-scenes infrastructure it takes to put on a safe, professional, community-powered event. Every dollar makes a difference. Every donation helps keep Summer Shred free, all-ages, and open to everyone.

Please donate and help us keep Summer Shred alive and growing. We are a registered 501 c 3 non profit organization and by giving, you’re directly supporting Portland’s local music scene and helping build a truly nonprofit festival that gives bands, artists, and fans a place to connect, celebrate, and make something special together. Thank you for stepping up and being part of Summer Shred.
