Rose Festival: The Portland Rose Festival is a month of events in June of every year including two parades, fireworks, an art show, dragon boat races, a parade of ships ("fleet week"), and a carnival-type event at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Most of these photos come from festival rides at the "waterfront village" and of the ships.
Morrison Bridge: Finished in 1958, the Morrison Bridge, a drawbridge, lies north of the Hawthorne Bridge and south of the Burnside Bridge downtown. The east side approaches are Belmont Street and Morrison Street; the west side approaches are Washington Street and Alder Street. This bridge replaced an earlier bridge built in the 1890's.
The Morrison Bridge is not lit most of the year anymore - only around the December holidays.
