Join fellow community members for a casual, drop‑in open house to share your thoughts on Portland's future. District councilors, Mayor Keith Wilson and City Administrator Raymond Lee will be there to welcome and chat with community members. These events, held in all four districts, offer residents an opportunity to engage in the City's budget process, hear from the Mayor and share feedback.

At the event, you'll find several stations focused on big community topics, including:

Vibrant, Safe and Inclusive Communities
Housing and Homelessness
Economic Development
Arts and Culture
Environment and Sustainability
Effective, Efficient and Equitable Government

You can visit any stations you're interested in — no formal program, no need to stay the whole time.

At each station, you'll be part of a community conversation that helps highlight shared priorities and key themes. It's a simple, quick way to make your voice part of the discussion. This is a drop-in event, open to everyone—stop by, share your thoughts, and contribute to the work ahead. Additional opportunities to engage in the City's budget process will be available this spring. Find budget events and meetings here.
