Meraki Community Sound System

In service of the greater Portland community, Meraki offers a small sound system for community block parties and "Rent Parties" on the Eastside of Portland. Block parties have the power to connect neighbors and foster goodwill across the city. Rent parties can bring us together and provide tangible help to people when they need it most.

The service is no- cost and does not include coordinating of bands, DJ's, games or food for your event. You are responsible for all other aspects and organization . We can offer advice only.

The Block Party must be a permitted through the city Block Party program and be free and open to the public, unless it is explicitly raising funds to aid a family and stop a eviction (Rent parties).  

Requests are limited by our sound techs availability, weather and not guaranteed. Fill out the from linked below to apply and we will be in touch.
