Portland Sunday Parkways is a festival that brings together the entire community for 5 hours of car-free streets. Over 125,000 people will walk, jog, bike, and stroll together on routes in NE, N, SE, E and NW Portland on five Sundays this summer. In each event, our parks play a central role in hosting musicians, food vendors, picnics and fun activities. The first event is on Sunday, May 16 in NE Portland. Subsequent dates are: N Portland on June 27th, East on July 18th, SE on August 15th, and NW on September 26th.Local nonprofits are invited to "own" an intersection (or more!) at one or more of the Sunday Parkways events. With 25,000 people coming right past your station, you would have a full exhibition opportunity to engage the public on your own terms. You make the intersection as exciting and inviting as you want. All organizations will be given a prime space along the route.
In exchange, you can help with the biggest need of the event - Intersection Superheros. The success of this event depends on the support of the entire community, and every single intersection along the course must be monitored by a volunteer. The job is simple, but important - keeping event participants and local traffic living happily together. In all, over 700 intersection shifts need to be covered! All volunteers will receive a free Sunday Parkways t-shirt, snacks, drinks and all necessary training.
