Jim Pepper Fest 2023

For the most part, each fall, a music festival is held on the grounds of Parkrose High School to remember Muscogee/Kaw musician Jim Pepper.

This year, the Jim Pepper Native Arts Council is holding a fundraiser concert at Alberta Abbey featuring “Innastate”,  a 2019 Native American Music Award Winning Reggae Band from New Mexico.

That will be followed on Saturday September 9th, by the 11th annual Jim Pepper Native Arts Festival from 11am – 7pm on the grounds of Parkrose High School in Portland.

The music lineup for this year’s festival includes:

•     Renee Roman Nose
