Summer Connections returns May 30 to celebrate community, culture and connection

Clackamas Community College invites the community to Summer Connections, a free, family-friendly celebration of Juneteenth and Pride Month, on Saturday, May 30, 1 to 4 p.m., at the Wacheno Welcome Center on the Oregon City campus.

In its fifth year, this event brings together community, local organizations and college partners for an afternoon of live entertainment, performances, interactive activities, food and a community resource fair designed to connect attendees with summer programs, services and opportunities across the region.

"At Summer Connections, we take time out of our busy lives to break bread with our neighbors. We get to explore some of the amazing resources available to us as residents, while enjoying student performances and other talented artists," Casey Layton, chief culture and impact officer for the Cougar Leadership, Education and Advocacy for Progress (LEAP) Office at Clackamas Community College, said.

The event is free and open to the public. Clackamas Community College is located at 19600 Molalla Ave., Oregon City. Parking is free. Tickets are available through Eventbrite at https://summer-connections-2026.eventbrite.com/?aff=PressRelease.
