The 20th Annual Good in the Hood festival kicks off this weekend in North Portland. they have a new larger location this year as over 10,000 people attended during last year’s festival. The parade is Saturday and starts at King School Park, and the festival runs all weekend at Lillis-Albina Park. It looks like they didn’t make a press release this year, so we’ve pieced together relevant info from last year’s press release and they did make a flyer you can get here (pdf).
