A joyful community sing-along led by Portland’s own Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini with many of Portland’s finest musical artists and chorale singers. Portland’s Tree Lighting Ceremony is the highlight of the holiday season in downtown. Join in this holiday tradition as Santa Claus ‘flips the switch’ to illuminate nearly 10,000 colorful lights on our City’s Tree that will shine bright throughout the holiday season.
Liturgy with choral and organ music, prayers, reading, sermon, and communion. Everyone is welcome!
Join a lively game of chess and put your skills to the test. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned player, there’s a spot for you. Instructor Victor will be on hand to guide beginners, while experienced players can jump right in and enjoy the challenge. Amplified holiday jazz from KMHD will play in the background to enhance the experience.
Special Dickens Carolers performances on Dec. 6th and 13th at 2 p.m.
