“I hope the re-establishment
of salmon back into the center
of our city gives kids and par-
ents alike a renewed apprecia-
tion for the natural world around
us,” said Portland Parks Com-
missioner Amanda Fritz. “The
Salmon Celebration will again
be a wonderful time to come
together and appreciate both na-
ture and community.”
The celebration also comes
at the same time as a Portland
Parkways event, a series of free
community events opening the
city’s largest public space – its
streets – for people to walk,
bike and roll and discover active
transportation.
