If you're a fan of Portlandia, the larger-than-life river goddess sculpture that looms above downtown's Portland Building, you might dig this fin-flapping celebration of Portland's rivers and port history. The Portlandia Mermaid Parade and Festival is a body-positive, family-friendly event that gathers the fantastical creatives helping our city thrive. This year's Pride-centered theme is Rainbow Waters: A Shellabration of Queer Merfolk, so throw on your most colorful aquatic attire and prepare to get soggy (the day wraps up with a fountain-splashing mob dance event).
