Christmas Ships – North Portland Harbor – Combined Fleet
Portland’s annual Christmas Ship Parade, the longest continually running Christmas Ship parade in America. Since 1954, a 100% volunteer-run organization. An Oregon Heritage Tradition.
7:00PM – The combined fleet (Columbia River and Willamette River Fleets) assembles near Salty’s / M Gleason Boat Ramp. We’ll parade in that area while boats arrive before we take a pass in front of the Tidewater Cove area on the WA side on our way down to North Portland Harbor. North Portland Harbor is located on the Oregon side of Hayden Island. There is no viewing from your car along the harbor. The fleet is out for about two hours.
