(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Well-known musicians, comedians, and celebrities will gather for a free concert event at Director Park on Saturday, August 20th from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m.

The free event is part of the nationwide Rock Against the TPP tour, a series of large-scale concerts, teach-ins, and protests mobilizing to raise awareness about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, the unpopular, anti-democratic trade deal that has been a hot topic in the presidential election.

Organized by legendary guitarist Tom Morello (Prophets of Rage, Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave), the lineup includes Golden Globe nominated actress Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit, Ant-Man), comedian Hari Kondabolu, popular punk band Anti-Flag, Hawaiian slack-key guitar legend Makana, Danbert Nobacon of UK sensation Chumbawamba, and buzzworthy bilingual rockers Downtown Boys.

The festival-style concert will feature high profile performers and speakers from a wide range of organizations opposing the TPP. There will be food trucks, a beer garden, and games for kids, all starting at 5 p.m. August 20.

Evangeline Lilly and TPP experts will host a free teach-in the following day, Sunday, August 21, at First Unitarian Church at 1:00pm.
