Fred Meyer Junior Parade – June 4th, 1:00-3:00 PM – Join the Fun!

Posted on by

Fred Meyer Junior Parade logoFun reigns at the Fred Meyer Junior Parade from the moment the lovable Fred Bear cuts the ribbon to the last float that goes down the street. Children from all parts of Portland participate by dressing in costume, transforming wagons into floats, decorating bikes with colorful flowers, or just by parading with friends and family. The parade also includes local school marching bands and dance teams.

The Junior Parade is the oldest and largest Children’s Parade in the Nation. Hope to see you there!

June 04, 2025 | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Community Event! Fire Station 28 Tour and Open House. April 6th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Fire Station 28

Explore the history of Portland’s oldest working firehouse!

April 6. 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Fire Station 28
5540 NE Sandy Blvd.

Visiting a fire station is a great way to learn more about our local, everyday heroes and to get an inside look at what being a firefighter is really like.  Join neighbors and families for an open house and tour of the historic firehouse at Sandy Blvd. at NE 56th St. Meet local firefighters, take pictures with the fire engine and look behind the scenes at what happens at the Station House!

Built in 1913, the firehouse once housed a team of horses to respond to fires and underwent extensive renovations in 2005. Be prepared: firefighters will end the event early if they receive a call for service during the scheduled tour. The event is a partnership between the Rose City Park Neighborhood Association and the Portland Fire Bureau.

Announcement and invitation from Brian Butler, the Marketing Manager of Every Step Preschool (ESP).

ESP is an exciting new preschool opening in the Rose City Park neighborhood in April 2025. ESP is an inclusive learning environment where we meet children where they are.

On Tuesday, March 25th we are holding an ‘Open House’ for the preschool and would love it if you can join us.

When: Tuesday, March 25th
Time: 2:30-5:30PM
Where: Every Step Preschool
NE 52nd Ave, Portland, OR 97213

Our school is based on the ‘Reggio Emilia’ philosophy:

“A child-centered constructivist approach to early childhood education that emphasizes the child as a capable learner who actively explores and constructs their own knowledge through experience and interaction, viewing the environment as a “third teacher”.

Please visit our website for more information about the school at www.es-preschool.com. We hope to see you at Every Step Preschool on Tuesday, March 25th from 2:30-5:30pm.
