Dear Friends in Willamette River Cities,
We wanted to call your attention to an upcoming event that will showcase the Willamette River. Riverfest will take place August 28 through September 7 along Portland’s downtown riverfront.
As you can see from our Event Guide, this first annual Portland Riverfest offers exciting ways for people to reconnect to the River—in fact, our theme is “The Willamette: Respect, Reconnect, Renew.”

While its primary audience will be people in the greater Portland area, Riverfest is also an opportunity to share the exciting river-related developments from communities all along the Willamette.
We believe reconnection with the river is an exciting proposition, whether it occurs along the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland, Springfield’s Mill Race, or any spot in-between. And Willamette renewal can only continue with the combined efforts of all our communities.
So, we hope you might consider sharing your community’s Willamette story by participating in Riverfest—especially the Community Fair on Sunday, August 31 (an information and registration sheet is attached).
If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks for all the upstream work you’re doing.
P.S.: you’ll soon be receiving an inquiry from Portland’s River Renaissance program about convening our Willamette cities on a regular basis to share information and make progress on common goals…
