One Night Covers the Trip

The Oregon Lunar New Year Celebration plays Keller Auditorium on Saturday, February 6, 2027, at 7:30 p.m. The Chinese Friendship Association of Portland presents it, and Portland'5 lists one performance that day.

Keller Auditorium is at 222 SW Clay St, Portland, OR 97201. The venue publishes 27 nearby hotels A to Z, each with a street address and 26 of them with a phone number, plus one named hotel partner. The list carries no rate, no block and no booking code.

The Clock the Room Has to Meet

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Seating is reserved. Everyone over age 1 needs a ticket, and the house welcomes all ages.

Tickets start at $62.94 and include all fees. The venue states that prices are subject to change, that it sells no refunds or exchanges, and that an order carries a 10-ticket limit. The program reads “Details to be announced soon,” so the date is fixed and the running order is not yet.

The Partner Address

The Heathman Hotel, 1001 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205, is the named hotel partner on the venue's Where to Stay page. Portland'5 describes it as steps from the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, with a restaurant and a library bar on site. The address measures 0.36 miles from the Keller doors.

The partner listing carries no rate and no code. Ask the property what it holds for Keller dates, then set the answer against the rest of the list.

The Five Shortest Walks

Straight-line distance from 222 SW Clay St to the published addresses puts five hotels inside 0.4 miles.

Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront — 1401 SW Naito Parkway, 0.11 miles. It sits between the auditorium and the river.

The Hotel Zags — 515 SW Clay St, 0.16 miles. The same street as the Keller, a few blocks west.

AC Hotel Downtown Portland — 888 SW Third Ave, 0.34 miles.

The Heathman Hotel — 1001 SW Broadway, 0.36 miles.

The Duniway — 545 SW Taylor St, 0.38 miles.

These figures measure between the two published addresses, so a walking route runs longer. They rank the addresses, which is the work the venue's page leaves to the reader.

What the Meter Does at 7 p.m.

Street parking around the Keller is metered and payable until 7:00 p.m. Curtain is 7:30 p.m.

The venue lists four options: metered street parking, pay surface lots marked with signs in the surrounding blocks, Smart Park garages, and other surrounding garages. It publishes no rate for any of them.

A hotel with its own garage removes the search. Ask whether parking sits inside the rate, what the garage clearance is, and whether the car can stay past Sunday checkout.

If You Skip the Car

TriMet buses bound for the city center use the transit mall: northbound on 6th Avenue, southbound on 5th Avenue. The venue's directions say to leave the bus at the stop nearest SW Clay St and walk east on Clay to 3rd Avenue, where the Keller stands on the corner.

The attending-an-event page recommends transit over driving and links TriMet's trip planner.

At the Door

Security is a walk-through, touchless screen. Bags stay in hand and pockets stay full. Medical devices get an alternate screening on request.

Outside food and drink are not allowed. Lobby concessions are cashless, and free cash-to-card machines sit in the lobby for anyone carrying bills.

If you arrive after curtain, ushers may seat you in the lobby or at the back until there is a break in the program.

Buying the Ticket

The Portland'5 Box Office is at 1111 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205, on 503-248-4335. The event page carries the venue's own ticket link as well.

Pay for the seats first, then hold the room.

One Night or Two

Saturday carries the whole event. The page names no Friday or Sunday session, so a Friday arrival buys dinner and a Sunday checkout buys breakfast.

If you want the second night, ask for the two-night rate in the same call.

The Request

For a group, hotelhuddle sends one request to 50 or more hotels in the destination at no charge, and hotels answer in 24 to 72 hours. The site lists no booking fee and no commission, and the guest pays the hotel. Group rates apply to blocks of 10 or more rooms.

For one or two rooms, book the property direct and ask three questions: the all-in rate with tax and parking, the walk to 222 SW Clay St, and the latest checkout the property will hold on Sunday.
