Burnside Bridge 100 year Celebration with the Art Car:
Thanks for Joining me on Saturday, May 30, to celebrate the 100th birthday of Portland’s iconic Burnside Bridge! Multnomah County had a great centennial party from 12 to 5 pm, closing the entire bridge for an afternoon of walking, rolling, and community storytelling. Celebration website
I was invited to bring Tom Cramer BMW Art Car to be part of a special display showcasing Portland's unique creativity and character. This free, family-friendly event featured interactive exhibits and historic displays spanning from the bridge’s 1926 completion to its earthquake-ready future
We enjoyed a rare chance to explore one of our city’s most famous landmarks on foot, alongside some of Portland's historic vehicles and art cars!
