The John Daniel Teply Gallery presents the Festival of Portland’s Migrating Crows on Friday April 1 from 6:00 - 9:30 at the Tree Farm Building in Southeast Portland.
Each year, over 15,000 crows migrate to our amazing city of Portland. This April the John Daniel Teply Gallery presents a festival in which people who have a great fondness for crows can congregate and celebrate.
Well-known Portland personality Eleanor O’Brian, Director of Dance Naked Productions, will begin the festivities with a Naked Crow Bike Ride. The Naked Crow Ride meets at 4:30 PM at the corner of 20th and SE Belmont. The ride concludes at the Festival of Portland’s Migrating Crows at the Tree Farm Building, 850 SE 3rd Avenue.
The evening has two separate components. The night opens with storytelling, poetry and dance from 6 - 7:30 pm. From 8 PM to 9:30 PM will be comedy and open mic. For the storytelling and dance section, celebrated puppeteer Bill Holznagel will be emceeing and performing.
Jaren George, “Portland’s Most Optimistic Comedian” will headline the comedy event, along with three featured comics: Eliza Butler, Danelle Porter, and Camron Strong. Comedy hour will kick off with an open mic and lots of crow jokes, emceed by writer and comedian Michelle Kicherer.
The festival will feature local artists and craft tables, along with a scavenger hunt in partnership with First Friday PDX that includes prizes like crow tattoos, tequila shots and more.
Join us for three short crow-themed stories that relate to our annual crow migration: The Rainbow Crow, the Lenape story of how the crow became black; Migration, the story of how in death, a mother joins the crow migration; and Ozzie and Ralph, a modern take on the story of Oden and Huginn and Muninn. The Katie Jane Band will perform, spreading the joy of Celtic music and Portland’s crows. If that isn’t enough for you, come and showcase your own crow costumes, artwork, or performance pieces at the Open Mic from 8:00 PM to 8:20 PM!
The 2022 Festival of Portland’s Migrating Crows is hosted at the Tree Farm on April 1st from 6:00PM to 9:30PM. We thank Kevin Cavenaugh of Guerrilla Developments for allowing us to use the Tree Farm Building for our event.
