Old Town Lanterns Lighting--a celebration of community, culture, and collaboration

You are invited to attend the unveiling the Old Town Lanterns Project—a symbol of Old Town’s hope and resilience.  The event will celebrate the lighting of the new array of 80 Chinese and Japanese lanterns installed overhead on NW Third Avenue between NW Couch and Davis Streets in Portland’s Old Town.

Thanks to the Old Town Community Association and the financial support from Portland’s Public Environment Management Office and Venture Portland, the lanterns are a testament to what we can achieve together, while bringing a much-needed positive spotlight to Old Town. Your presence will amplify the joy and significance of this occasion, celebrating our collective success in casting Old Town in a new, glowing light.
