The Big Float

Tom McCall Waterfront Park
Portland, Oregon

The Big Float X was our final celebration of this summer blast on the river and beach. Maybe someday it will return. For those who missed it, The Big Float is/was a celebration of the Willamette River and a benefit for the Human Access Project - a grand parade/float/ beach party in downtown Portland.

The idea behind TBF was to help people “get into and embrace” their river. And to build support for improving river access and creating a river habitat for humans.

The event included live music on two stages, beer/ wine garden, food carts, best-of-cruise costume and watercraft contests, kids’ activities, and more. For more info visit www.thebigfloat.com.
