1) Sunday Parkways comes to Overlook this weekend

On Sunday, streets across North Portland will close to vehicle traffic for Sunday Parkways. It’s a particularly special event, marking the 50th Sunday Parkways in the city’s history. Attendees are encouraged to come in their favorite gold outfits and flair to mark the milestone.

Sunday Parkways will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. To make it easy for residents and visitors alike to join in the fun this weekend PBOT has created a detailed Sunday Parkways route map and brochure with all area bikeway routes and bus and light rails routes to help area everyone get to Sunday Parkways by biking and taking transit.

The full route is 9.5 miles, including a stretch along Willamette Boulevard. Riders can ride as much or as little of the route as they like.

The route highlights five Portland Parks and activity areas including Peninsula, Arbor Lodge, Kenton, and McCoy Parks and the Columbia Annex with activities, food, music, and community businesses and organizations to connect with at the event.
