Local community groups such as the Kiwanis Club, Boy Scout's, Sandy High ect. provide a variety of fair food everything from elephant ears to corn on the cob and BBQ. Artisans from all over the Northwest some out to show their wares. As well as bands, dance troupes and singers. In my opinion the big draw is the art booths and food vendors. However, they have a pageant featuring a princess or Queen in each age group, carnival rides for the kids, and other events throughout the week. However, if you aren't directly involved in the community of Sandy, the vendors are the big draw. It's exactly what it sounds like an old fashion community fair!

They are a Mardi Gras Indian Band with feathered head dress. They were great performers doing Mardi Gras songs and R & B. Delgres, French Caribbean band performed on the Front Porch Stage. It's a smaller stage. Eric Gales did a great performance before Buddy Guy came on too. The festival got super crowded after 6 pm. One thing I didn't like was that there were only one area where the Sanican Restrooms were set up. So you had to walk to the center of the grounds and under the bridge. It got really dark at 5 pm when the lights were not turned on yet. Some of the grassy area had bird poop around, so you really have to sanitize your shoes and blanket afterwards.

THIS WAS WHERE PORTLAND FAMILIES HAD THEIR PICNICS AND WATCHED FIREWORKS! This festival should be made free with donations again or move to a different weekend. The festival is nice, BUT Portlanders have a right to use their own huge, central park location for a 4th of July celebration EVERYONE can attend, like any other city.

They do this through organizing public events, participating in local festivals, and by producing a newsletter and website content about our amazing city. I attended the Weird Portland Gala in November 2019 and was blown away by the positive energy in the room. Costumed attendees came together to honor Darcelle, Mayor Bud Clark and Working Kirk Reeves as they were inducted into the Weird Portland Hall of Fame. So many of Portland's wacky personalities were present, including The Unipiper, Moshow the Cat Rapper, Toby Froud, Elvis, Mayor Bud Clark, Una the Mermaid and more. It was an amazing evening. Weird Portland United presents a monthly networking and educational event called Weird Portland Creatives. They invite guest speakers to discuss their creative endeavors in Portland. I've attended lectures by the amazingly talented Poison Waters, the founder of The Peculiarium, and Rojo the Llama. I'm happy to live in a city that celebrates it's colorful characters and weird history.

We enjoyed the march of high school bands, sponsor floats, community organizations, and horse riders for a couple hours. The crowd was never too large so there were lots of spots along the sidewalks on Burnside to see each group pass by. The parade starts at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum before heading across the Burnside Bridge, turning at 4th Avenue, and heading down to Lincoln High School. We str Naming rights for the parade mean it is now called the Spirit Mountain Casino Grand Floral Parade and they get to start the show as the first float after a mass of flag-waving local Boy, Cub, and Girl Scouts. More interesting groups followed including floats from Portland's sister cities, diverse minority group participation, a few small equestrian teams, a chill pack of llamas, drill teams and marching bands, the royal court and festival queen, and a U.S. Air Force Honor Guard. The entire route of the parade is 4 miles so locals and tourist should have no problem finding a place to enjoy all or part of the parade. It starts at 10:00 at the Coliseum, but we didn't hit our area until around 11:00. We found parking for a crazy high $16 about a block away, but it was worth it, I suppose. This parade may not rival some of the bigger and more elaborate ones around the country, but for Portland, the Grand Floral Parade, is as big as it gets. It's a source of pride and participation for the entire Portland-Vancouver metro area for good reasons. I'm a fan.
