Free Party noon - 2 p.m.

This National Trails Day celebration starts with clearing a section of trail that will blaze the way for future construction of the Bayside section of the Portland Trails network. In the afternoon, join us for a free party behind Planet Dog. Enjoy live music, food, raffles, games and the satisfaction of knowing you're

helping to revitalize this up-and-coming neighborhood.

Help us name the trail!

Submit your suggestion(s) to info@planetdog.com and you will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 gift card to Planet Dog. The new trail name will be announced at the festival.
