Pearl District 🇺🇸 Walk PORTLAND 2023
Welcome to Portland's Pearl District. On Thursday nights in summer they close down the streets for vendors and artists to showcase and sell their work. NW 13th Ave is closed to traffic and filled with people.
The Pearl District is an area of Portland, Oregon, formerly occupied by warehouses, light industry and railroad classification yards and now noted for its art galleries, upscale businesses and residences. The area has been undergoing significant urban renewal since the mid-1980s when it was reclassified as mixed use from industrial, including the arrival of artists, the removal of a viaduct and construction of the Portland Streetcar. It now consists of industrial building conversion to offices, high-rise condominiums and warehouse-to-loft conversions.
The increase of high-rise condominiums and warehouse-to-loft conversions was made evident with the construction of the Cosmopolitan on the Park building, which opened in Summer 2016. The Cosmopolitan on the Park residential building is now the tallest building in the Pearl District and the 8th tallest building in Portland, contributing to the changing Portland skyline.

Starting in 1986, First Thursday in the Pearl is a district-wide celebration on the first Thursday of each month. Originally a gathering of art collectors and dealers, the celebration has grown to a monthly event of over ten thousand people, including art enthusiasts, wine aficionados, and scenesters looking to see and be seen.
Art galleries in the district are open late into the evening for receptions and new show openings. Many galleries offer food and drink, while the artists showing are available to meet and discuss their work. On pleasant evenings, the streets are packed with artists selling their creations and musicians and bands playing live music on many of the closed-off streets.
Parking gets very difficult in the area on First Thursday. It is recommended to take public transportation to the Pearl or park nearby and walk into the neighborhood.

Each neighborhood or even street in Portland is different. If you search for events and go at the right times it's a beautiful city!
