The Big Float is a celebration of the Willamette River. It’s a parade/float/beach party in downtown Portland that benefits the Human Access Project (HAP), a local, volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to helping people connect with their river and perhaps even fall in love with it.
The Big Float is also a catalyst. It’s a way to connect people and transform Portland’s relationship with the Willamette River. Hallelujah!
You must provide your own float vessel and life jacket. Life jackets are available through online registration or on location for $10.

Join the flotilla and sail downstream in the human-powered vessel of your choice.
The Willamette River is reviving and Portland’s relationship with it is transforming.
