Mayor Ted Wheeler and TriMet team up to encourage people to get out during the holiday weekend.

Mayor Ted Wheeler showed his support for the initiative during a press conference on Wednesday, June 30. The move is part of the city s Here for Portland campaign. It s the perfect time to get out and explore what our fantastic city has to offer, that includes delicious local food, tasty beverages, unique shops and fun events, Wheeler said. Portland businesses are ready to welcome people back after 16 long months of pandemic restrictions.
