THE BIG FLOAT X  

The Last Blast!

Sun, July 10th, 2022 was a glorious day to celebrate

our final TBF. 

THANK YOU to everyone who has

supported The Big Float and Human Access Project

over the years.

After 10 years of floating, parading,

and beach partying, we figure people get it:

embrace the Willamette River! 

 

Hopefully, someone else will raise the sails of TBF.

We would salute that! 

 

Long live the Riverlution!    

 

The Big Float is/was a celebration of the Willamette River. It was a parade/float/beach party in downtown Portland benefitting the Human Access Project (HAP), a local, volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to helping people connect with their river and perhaps even embrace 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!
