Thanksgiving plans are probably in full swing at your house. They are at ours!
One thing to put on your list for the day after Thanksgiving, in addition to some great shopping, is the Tree Lighting at Pioneer Square.
One of the sure signs that the holiday season has officially begun in the Portland area is the lighting of the 75 foot tree in Pioneer Courthouse Square the day after Thanksgiving.
Large crowds gather to see the lighting of this spectacular tree so go early if you want a good view!
Remember it gets dark early now and the tree lighting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. It would be the perfect end to a day of shopping downtown. Just grab yourself a nice warm beverage and join in the fun.
There will be music and maybe even a special visitor! A great way to kick off the season!
A perfect activity to do with any relatives/friends that may be visiting for the holiday – show them beautiful downtown Portland.
