Open House celebration with live music, dancing, and community cheer.
Raise a toast to 100 years of the Alberta Abbey—a historic North Portland landmark and vibrant arts hub!
On Sunday, December 14, 2025, we’re opening our doors for a special community open house featuring building tours, live music, a short program of organizational updates, and a night of salsa dancing led by Portland's own Son de Cuba.
Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, a no-host bar, and performances throughout the afternoon and evening, including a jazz set by Yugen Rashad Project and a dance lesson to get everyone moving. This is a celebration of the Abbey’s past, present, and future with the people who make it possible.
All are welcome. RSVP helpful, but not required. Come celebrate with us!
