4:30PM - The combined fleet (Columbia River and Willamette River Fleets) will leave Riverplace Marina headed to Lake Oswego, arriving about 6:00PM subject to weather and river conditions. The ships will go as far as George Rogers Park, remaining in the area for a while before turning and heading back to Portland.
The parade will be seen from the Milwaukie Bay Riverfront Park (details below) on our way to Lake Oswego and again on the return to Riverplace Marina. If time permits, we may spend a bit of time in Milwaukie Bay on our way back from Lake Oswego.
The fleet will be out for approximately 3 and 1/2 hours.
