Cinco de Mayo

For over 30 years, the city of Portland has turned the 5th of May into a wonderful three-day celebration. There are amusement rides, crafts displays and wrestling competitions. Mariachi bands, fire dancers and flash mobs entertain the crowds. A poignant moment during the festivities is the Naturalization ceremony that takes place, welcoming the country's newest citizens.

Welcome To Portland, OR

Welcome to Portland, Oregon, the City of Roses.

Portland is the largest city in the state and is bordered by the Columbia River to the north. The Willamette River runs through the city, giving Portland a picturesque beauty.

Things to do

At the beginning of the year, chocolate lovers descend into Portland for the city's Chocolate Fest. This three-day event aims to educate the public about the cacao tree and offers an expansive variety of chocolates to sample.

For over 100 years, summertime has drawn flower fans to the Portland Rose Festival. The annual gathering, which celebrates the beautiful flowers that give Portland its nickname, includes many events, such as a rose show and races on both land and sea. Three parades are also included on the event's docket.

The Portland Marathon takes place in October. The generous gift package for participants includes a tree sapling, shirts and a pendant. The course takes runners through many of Portland's most beautiful sights, including the riverfront.

The waterfront is also home to the Waterfront Blues Festival, which brings prominent blues musicians, musical cruises and educational workshops to the city in early July.

The Portland Trailblazers offer an exciting evening of basketball to sports fans. Portland State University also serves up athletic events, including tennis, football and softball.
