PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Vogue once hailed Adam Sandler as a “fashion icon” for his trademark casual attire, often consisting of loose T-shirts paired with even looser basketball shorts. However, an upcoming event in Oregon will shine a light on the costumes from his various movie roles instead.

“Sandler In the Park” invites participants to dress up as their favorite characters from the actor and comedian’s films. Set to take place at Portland’s Cathedral Park on May 17, the event offers a wide range of outfit choices, from the Hawaiian shirts seen in “Just Go With It” to the flashy jewelry in “Uncut Gems.”

Portland resident Riza Antonio told KOIN 6 she already wanted to organize a community event — she just needed a theme.

“Lately, I’ve felt overwhelmed, like there’s a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I notice many people around me feel similarly due to current global events,” Antonio revealed. “Then, I stumbled upon an old ‘SNL’ clip of Adam Sandler, which reminded me of how I used to watch his movies as a kid. That was the moment it all clicked for me.”

The 33 year-old legal assistant, and now-party-planner, noted that she admires Sandler’s ability to be himself even while remaining an A-lister. He made headlines at the 2025 Oscars after showing up in his usual attire. And while “Sandler in the Park” isn’t expected to be quite like the glitzy awards ceremony, it will have some perks of its own.

According to Antonio, the party will include group photos, Sandler-themed raffle prizes, character impressions and soundtracks from some of his best films. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own drinks and food, although there will be a limited amount at the party. The host is also hoping someone brings a guitar to perform “Forgetful Lucy” from ”50 First Dates,” or even some of the tunes from “The Wedding Singer.”

“Let’s make things positive and get people together,” said Antonio. “I just feel like there’s a sense of loneliness, or people just don’t know where to start as far as connecting with one another. And I feel like this is a [way] to connect.”
