The Good In The Hood (GITH) is a non-profit organization founded in 1990 by the parents and staff of Holy Redeemer Catholic School with a vision to raise funding for the school and to celebrate diversity. The GITH staff of volunteers has continued that tradition and provides a viable venue to maintain ‘Unity in the Community’  (our motto) and most importantly, the ability to provide scholarships to enrolled college students. 

This annual two-day festival is the largest of its type in the Pacific Northwest and takes place annually on the last weekend of June. It opens with a parade that travels through Northeast Portland and ends at the site of the festival. The festival site provides a setting where businesses are able to share their resources, small businesses are able to sell their products, and where locally and nationally renowned musicians perform their extraordinary talents.
