One Last Gathering of the Crows. Join Darcelle XV Plaza for the Wildwood: Follow the Crows Farewell Weekend. After soaring across Portland all season, all 30 spectacular crow sculptures are coming together for one final celebration. This free, family-friendly event is your last chance to see the crows in Portland—and the only opportunity to experience the entire flock in one place.

Meet some of the talented artists behind the crows, collect autographs, take plenty of photos and support OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital through optional donations.

Costumes are highly encouraged. At 2 p.m. on Halloween Day, costumed guests can strut, flap or swoop through the plaza in a festive Costume Parade. Prizes will be awarded in both Adult and Under-18 divisions for:

• People’s Choice
• Best Themed Costume
• Best Crow Costume

Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. Bring your family, gather your flock and help give Portland’s beloved crows a send-off to remember.

Join the Farewell Weekend at Darcelle XV Plaza. See the entire flock gathered together for the first—and final—time before the sculptures head to auction in support of OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

Join the opening reception of "Other Contexts," a solo collage show by Portland-based artist Kate Garklavs. Garklavs' hairscapes — fanciful landscapes accented by cut-out images of hair — examine queer identity through fragmentation and re-fashioning/re-contextualization.

Event is free and open to the public. Food, beverages (alcoholic and N/A), and original collages will be available for sale.

The Unveiling is a solo exhibition by GMS artist Faera J. Valore. Featuring mixed-media pieces, The Unveiling explores the concepts of multifaceted self-exploration, realms both seen and unseen, Trans Euphoria/Dysphoria, and liminality.

Faera is a vibrant, Queer/Trans, mixed-media artist who joined the GMS Collective in 2023. She has worked on several murals in the WeShine community, The Mullowney Project, and the Midsummer Night’s Dream Machine fashion show in 2025. Currently, she is experimenting with fiber arts and various collaging materials and is working on a poetry anthology called 8x8.

Opening Reception: Thursday, November 5, 2026, 5:30–7:30 p.m.
