Endless Summer: A 2023 Benefit Bash for SPACE with DJ Liz Rhaney and DJ Ben Spalding

Take the ferry and join your arts community for a fundraiser dance party at the Peaks Island Lions’ Club (aka Greenwood Garden). Tickets will be available at the event (exact change if using cash or card preferred).

This seaside soirée will benefit SPACE’s mission of supporting the next wave of arts, artists, and ideas. We’ll soak in the sunset and salty breeze while extending the summer into a night of expertly DJed grooves by Liz Rhaney and Ben Spalding on the Peaks waterfront. With projected photos by Ryan Marshall and marquee poetry by Alana Dao and meg willing of A CLEARING.

Attendees can catch the 9:45 pm ferry back to Portland or dance until we close down Greenwood Garden at 10:30 pm to catch the 10:55 pm ferry (the second to last of the evening). Those who want to eat dinner on the island should grab the 5:35 pm ferry, and plan to join us at 7:30 at the Lions Club. 

We’re keeping our fundraiser bash prices accessible for this first bash back since our pandemic closure. General admission tickets include light bites, sweet treats, and complimentary drinks—but do not include a ferry ticket. Dress sharp and comfortable for good vibrations.

This event is 21+
