The Portland All Souls River Procession

Parking is available on N Crawford next to the Cathedral Park dog off-leash area, at the Cathedral Park boat ramp ($5 Pay-to-Park), or in the surrounding neighborhood.

❌Unnecessary garbage. Please pack it in, pack it out. Events held in Portland Parks are required to manage their own trash. We would like All Souls to leave as little a trace as possible on the land. Please don't make Portland Parks make us order a dumpster.

❌Glass beverage containers. Glass bottles and containers are not allowed in Portland Parks.

❌Puppets/masks/costumes/art that shed debris. Please don't leave a trail of non-biodegradable materials like dyed feathers and glitter. Our crew will be scouring the procession and river ritual areas on Sunday to pick up any bits that have been left behind--please make our job easier.

❌Anything that might end up in the river that shouldn't be in a river. 

Thank you!

The first part of our 2026 processional route is on a hillside that slopes down toward the river, (N Burlington and N Salem), but the remainder of the route is flat (N Crawford) or close to flat (lower N Pittsburg).

For folks with limited mobility you may wish park on N Pittsburg south of the train tracks and allow the procession to come to you. Then at the very end of N Pittsburg there is a sidewalk area with accessibility cutouts from the street that provides a view of the Cathedral Park Beach area where the River Ritual will take place.

There will be pottapotties including at one ADA unit at N Pittsburg and N Crawford near the dog park.
