Neighborhood Street Fairs & Parades

I’m not sure if everyone really does love a parade, like the song says, but the street fairs and parades around Portland are part of what makes this city the best place to be during summertime. For the most part, the street fairs are one-day events with food vendors, sidewalk sales, music, and sometimes—parades.

Here’s the schedule for Portland street fairs in 2008.

fyi: Some of the website links go to neighborhood associations, since not all of the fairs have their own sites.
