Portland Sunday Parkways is back and this Sunday, August 15, Portland’s SE neighborhood is going car-free. The Hawthorne Street Fair will also take place on Sunday, August 15, from 11am-5pm. So join in on the fun!
Sunday Parkways is an annual event that turns our streets into parks, if only for a day. It works like this; large routes of streets get blocked off to cars and opened up to pedestrians, bikers, runners, etc.
Getting cars off the streets is such a unique opportunity in our society that I wouldn’t want to miss this.
