An iconic boutique hotel is celebrating 20 years along East Burnside Street.

The Jupiter Hotel opened in 2004 as a converted motor lodge with a mid-century vibe that quickly became a hub for arts and culture in the Buckman neighborhood, welcoming “creatives of all creeds” through its doors and to Doug Fir Lounge over the decades.

To celebrate its independent hospitality, all are invited to a free block party on Saturday, Sept. 28, 1-6:30 p.m., which will spill into the street — Let’s Be Friends, a BIPOC maker and artist market, will also take over the second floor of Jupiter NEXT. You’ll find beverages from Straightaway Cocktails and food trucks like MidCity SmashBurger.

Portland-based rock band Blitzen Trapper will headline musical performances from local acts, including Pura Vida, Blossom, DJ Anjali, and MAITA. P:ear will be the event’s nonprofit partner.
