What I love about Portland

by Casey Gilbert, Executive Director

What I love about Portland, (among many other things) is the amazing lineup of events that we have during the holidays – and all year round. Portland Downtown puts on a wide array of holiday events – from the Tree Lighting in Monument Square and Shop for A Cause Day, to our window display contest and Merry Madness. We should also not forget the beautiful Winter Lights that will be shining bright for all to see! Portland Downtown happily sponsors the annual display and Pandora LaCasse is the artist behind the beautiful creations. The Winter Lights are an event in and of themselves and (thankfully!) it continues on throughout the cold, dark winter nights to bring light and joy to the City. How lovely! Read more
