WE WILL BE GOING TO THE WILLAMETTE RIVER THIS WEDNESDAY, AUG 30. Ride leaves at 6pm DJ PopCartPDX will be spinning tunes at Duckworth Dock. SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST - Ramblxr !!! The Duckworth Summer Wednesdays End of Summer Blast FINALE with DJ PopCartPDX and Ramblxr! Duckworth Summer Wednesdays, a collaboration between Human Access Project and Lloyd EcoDistrict, combines live mixing from bike DJ PopCartPDX, lifeguarded swimming, lounging, people watching, and sunset viewing. We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Although an Oregon Health Advisory is still in effect from Ross Island Lagoon to Cathedral Park, visual observations, significant drop in river temperature (currently 72 degrees), satellite imagery and a nice rain Monday morning indicate that it is now safe to return to the river. The River Hugger Swim Team is back to our regular schedule of swimming, we returned to the river on Saturday. For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. We will have a diving competition at 6:45pm. In addition to PopCartPDX DJing, we will have two other guest DJ's plus the famous Ramblxr who you may remember seeing a lot of at the World Naked Bike Ride after party. Ramblxr plays Celtic EDM, it's quite mind blowing to see and experience live. Ramblxr will be playing right after our diving competition from 7pm till dusk. HAP'sters - let's send summer out with a bang. Hope to see ya there! Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bike, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. For those who drive there is metered street parking on NE Oregon under the I5 overpass between the Rose Quarter and Convention Center. There is also a private parking lot on NE Lloyd behind the convention center and esplanade. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!
