LAGUNITAS BEER CIRCUS
ROLL UP, ONE AND ALL, and dip yourself for a day or two into an immersive circus like no other, all under a big top on the east side of the Hawthorne Bridge!

Along with several hours of non-stop whimsy, spectacle, and performances, indulge in a carnival midway with fun games and tasty food, an intimate Hoochie Koochie tent for the grown-ups, and a schedule of circus workshops (Sunday only) to lead you by the hand into our madcap nation of absolute revelry and attendant temptations.

Created in collaboration with Multnomah County Bridge Section and the Intersections program of the Regional Arts & Culture Council. For more information on The Hidden Life of Bridges project, please visit their website.

WHERE: Kenton Masonic Lodge, 8130 N. Denver Ave., Portland
WHEN: Friday, August 5th at 6pm
Sharon Wood Wortman (aka “The Bridge Lady”) and engineer Ed Wortman talk about why some bridges get rehabilitated and others get replaced. With the Columbia River Crossing project in the works (50 new bridges along 5.5 miles of highway!), a new Sellwood Bridge, and the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Bridge, big river bridges still command our attention!
