Know Before You Go

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Oregon’s governor has banned all large events through the end of September 2020. For details on the events listed below, please visit their websites.

June is called “festival season” for a reason. The city comes to life with dozens of special seasonal events and things to do, including the city’s biggest party — the Portland Rose Festival — along with Portland Pride Parade and Festival and the high-flying Festival of Balloons. Read on for our top picks of things to do during a visit to Portland in June, or search our full events calendar to see everything on offer.

Juneteenth is celebrated every summer with a freedom parade and a picnic in North and Northeast Portland on the Saturday closest to June 19.

In Portland, observation of the holiday was begun in the shipyards in 1944 by Clara Peoples.
