Headlined by local emcee
Fountaine, and doubling as
the artists’ album release par-
ty, Green Hop’s second annu-
al free block party will take
place Saturday, Aug. 17 from
1 p.m. to 9 p.m. near the cor-
ner of Northeast 16th Avenue
and Killingsworth Street.
Green Hop co-founder
Karanja Crews, who runs
the dispensary with fellow
northeast Portland-raised Ni-
cole Kennedy, said the event
is meant as a re-claiming of
space for displaced black res-
idents that everyone is wel-
come to celebrate.
“The Block Party represents
a ‘re-entrification’ movement,
which means to re-enter a
neighborhood that has been
gentrified,” Crews said.
Fountaine said he is excited
to perform at the block par-
ty not only because of what
Green Hop means to the com-
munity but also because he
will get to debut his newest
album, “South of Nowhere.”
“I lost around six family
members this year, so every-
thing coming together, being
around black love, a good
time, a good environment at
one of the staples will be nos-
talgic, and a good ‘stay-cation’
to let go and let everything
loose.”
