 Join us...

for an all-ages community art event and ritual procession, to honor our beloved dead by the sandy shore of the Willamette River, under the St Johns Bridge. Whatever our background or life-situation may be, we all experience the grief of loss when loved ones pass on. But through creative expression and community, we can recognize the beauty and strength of that love as we celebrate our connection to life, and to each other.
