Sunday Parkways knows PDX Streets: How can I join Sunday Parkways?

Well my friend that is like asking: How many ways can I cook a potato? There are countless ways. This is a traffic free event that brings people out to enjoy their neighborhoods and discover new ones. We open up between 6 – 9 miles of public streets to the public once a month on Sunday from May to October. The routes connect to a series of Activity hubs/Marketplaces that are usually stationed at parks. At these Marketplaces you can find food, music, dancing, good conversation, city resources and more.
