Kenton / North Portland · Portland, OR · 2060 N Marine Dr, Portland, OR 97217
A large, aging expo hall complex opened in 1959 for Oregon's Centennial, on the Columbia River in North Portland. Best known for trade shows, swap meets, and auto shows, it also hosts large-capacity Latin-electronic and EDM-mainstage events that need raw floor space rather than a purpose-built music room.
Getting there
Parking
On-site parking around $15 per car per entry, with prices varying for special events.
Transit
End-of-the-line MAX Yellow Line stop (Expo Center station) is a short walk from the entrance.
What ravers say
Reviewers generally praise the venue's spaciousness, cleanliness, and organization for large gatherings, but note the facility is old and shows its age, with a more utilitarian, expo-hall feel than a dedicated concert venue.
