Join Oregon Natural Desert Association’s annual celebration of desert conservation! Commemorate a year of achievements and conservation successes at our High Desert Hootenanny in Portland.

Hear highlights from this year’s conservation initiatives and habitat restoration work from Executive Director Ryan Houston and learn about what’s to come in the year ahead. Plus, you’ll have opportunities to advocate for high desert lands, waters and wildlife.

Enjoy live music from Hillbilly Supper Club and complimentary light appetizers from Pizza Thief and Mississippi Pizza, craft beer from Oakshire Brewing, Claim 52 Brewing and Falling Sky Brewing, Soter Vineyards wine, a desert-themed mocktail and Polar Seltzer while spending time with our community of dedicated desert-enthusiasts.

We’ll also have an optional game of high desert bingo to spark connection with fellow desert advocates, and chances to win fantastic prizes from Portland Leather, Portland Center Stage, Thai Peacock, Khao Moo Dang, Solabee Flowers, Providore Fine Foods, YoYoYogi and Lloyd Athletic Club. Attendees will receive a coupon for one free week of yoga at YoYoYogi (while supplies last).

This event is free and open to the public, so invite a friend and join the celebration! No registration necessary.
