Winter Solstice Bonfire & Christmas Ships
The Milwaukie Winter Solstice event has been a cherished tradition for years. On December 15 come down to the Milwaukie Riverfront park and watch the Christmas Ship fleet cruise the Willamette River! Warm by bonfire, enjoy yummy treats (for sale) and listen to carols performed by the Dickens Carolers. The ships will pass by Milwaukie around 5:30pm, subject to weather and river conditions. The ships will go as far as George Rogers Park and then turn back to Portland. This annual event draws hundreds of people and is a fun time for the whole family. This event is free and all ages are encouraged to participate! Due to parking restraints, please park on the east side of McLoughlin and walk to the event. For more information about either event please call Beth Ragel at 503.786.7568. Click for details.

 Don't get stuck with tickets you can't use
When the ball drops on December 31st, you may as well use your old TriMet tickets for confetti because time will have run out to exchange them for valid tickets. Before that happens, help TriMet spread the word especially to infrequent riders: Older tickets - those without the foil strip as well as 1-Zone and 2-Zone tickets - need to be exchanged for new ones. While riders can exchange their tickets at the TriMet Ticket Office in Pioneer Courthouse Square during regular business days, TriMet is holding a two-day ticket trade-in event on Friday, December 7 and Saturday, December 8.
