HONK! PDX 2025 - Day 1 ft. Crushin' It

Let the HONKENING begin!

We're back for the 3rd Annual HONK! PDX music festival — louder, weirder, and more joyful than ever. This year, we’re turning up the volume on collaboration, community, and creativity, partnering with two amazing local organizations to make it all happen.

Day One kicks off with CRUSHIN' IT, an all-ages party located in the heart of historic Alberta, on NE 16th Ave and NE Alberta St. Expect two stages, high-energy performances from 10 incredible bands, and uniquely unforgettable activities like watermelon crushing and watermelon wrestling (yes, really). Anyone is welcome to try their hands at crushing a watermelon but it is BYOM (bring your own melon).

Come for the music, stay for the mayhem, and connect with community in true HONK! style. See you there for a full day of sights, sounds, and sonic silliness — it’s just the beginning of the weekend!
