The Northeast Cully event was full of fun. Next stop: East Portland on July 27!
An estimated 26,000 people turned a sunny Sunday into a celebration of community at theNortheast Cully Sunday Parkways event on June 29 while enjoying open streets to walk, bike, roll, and play.
From kids riding a bike for the first time to neighbors dancing to live music, every section of the route was filled with connection and joy. But none of it would have been possible without the dedicated volunteers, talented performers, local vendors, generous sponsors, and neighborhood partners who brought their time, energy, and heart to the event.
Sunday Parkways Presented By Kaiser Permanente isn’t just about closing streets to cars—it’s about opening them up to possibility. Thank you for helping us make the magic happen in the NE Cully neighborhood!
Next up: Sunday Parkways returns to East Portland!
Hosted by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), this accessible, family-friendly event invites you to walk, bike, roll, and play safely on four and a half miles of car-free streets filled with free entertainment and activities for all ages from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.!
We still have openings to volunteer as an Intersection Superhero at the East Portland Sunday Parkways on July 27! Support riders, guide neighbors, and soak up the joy of thousands of people walking, biking, and rolling through car-free streets. Sign up today!
Along the route, explore vendor marketplaces, community booths, family-friendly activities, and live entertainment at Gateway Discovery Park, Ventura Park, Lincoln Park, and Parklane Park. Parklane Park returns to the route for the first time since 2022. The Sunday Parkways team is excited to welcome community back and showcase the many improvements that have transformed this beautiful park space!

Portland adjusts parking rates and hours
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has updated on-street and public garage parking rates for the new fiscal year across the city’s five parking districts - Downtown, Northwest, Lloyd, Marquam Hill, and the Central Eastside – following City Council approval as part of the 2025-2026 city budget. Parking data shows that there is rising demand for space across the city as vibrant events, shopping, and dining continue to grow and expand across Portland. The cost of on-street parking in Portland remains substantially lower than most major west coast cities.
