Check it out – truly PDX – The Big float is an event that celebrates the improved water quality of the Willamette River. It is one more great summer event on the Portland waterfront. You can drift to bands playing from a floating barge with handcrafted beers pouring. What could be more magical? While at it, check out our 40-foot Banner<\/a> of a high res image shot by GigaPan of PDX winning world float record. Yes, Portland floats.<\/p>\n

This event will be a blast whether listening to music while river floating in the Willamette next to Waterfront Park, or if you prefer to keep dry, watching and partaking in a beer or two from the shore. The float starts at noon, the bands at 12:15. Registration starts at 9AM or register online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Portland wins World Record<\/a> for Most People in a Floating Line<\/em>, thanks to the organization by Human Access Project. 620 people on inner tubes floated down the Willamette, hands joined, to break the record. Local company, GigaPan<\/a>, documented the event with an extreme high-resolution photograph. We’ve printed that photo on a 40-foot long banner that will be posted at the Big Float. See if you can find yourself! GigaPan’s technology printed ecologically by Premier Press Large Format<\/a> Technology allows you to see a single photograph 40 foot long with enough clarity that you can pick yourself out in the image.<\/p>\n
