Apartments in Farview

There are so many Saint Patrick’s Day events in the Portland area, making picking one a difficult task. One of the best Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations in our area is the family-friendly Sellwood-Moreland’s 20th Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade!

The festivities will commence with the Sellwood Middle School Marching Band leading a long parade that will feature fire trucks, police motorcycles, and bagpipes! The parade route circles through the streets of Sellwood-Moreland, beginning and ending at Saint Agatha School. Afterward, enjoy the Irish themed festival. At the carnival-like event, there will be a cakewalk, as well as Irish music and dancing. In addition to entertainment, there will be tasty food from local food trucks and Ireland’s famous Guinness beer. The parade begins at noon, with the festival starting immediately after at 12:30 PM and lasting until 5:00 PM.

The best part of all? This event is free! The Sellwood-Moreland’s 20th Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade will be held rain or shine, so be sure to check the weather before attending. St. Agatha School is located at 7960 SE 15th Ave, Portland, OR 97202, just a thirty-minute drive from the Lodges at Lake Salish Apartments in Fairview, OR.

Labor Day Weekend is Upon Us!

Labor Day Weekend is just around the corner. This is the time for enjoying a much needed three day weekend, plus gathering together with family and friends for grilling and fun activities! We have a couple suggestions to add to your holiday weekend schedule.

If you’re the outdoors, nature lover type, you should check out the Blue Lake Regional Park! Just like its namesake, there is a beautiful lake where you can swim and boat, and there’s also fishing, an 18-hole disc golf course, hiking and biking trails, plus so, so much more! If you’d rather do something indoors and you’ve got a babysitter (or the kids are grown!), check out Ye Old Grog Distillery. They hand make all their own drinks, have tours and tastings, and even make ice cream for adults.

Overall, Fairview, Oregon has plenty to do for the weekend warriors and for those who want to relax. Have a safe and fun holiday weekend with those you love.

For the lovers of history, check out the Heslin House! It’s a quaint little museum and even has a historic jail on the grounds that’s fun for all ages. Maybe you’re more of an outdoors and wildlife type? Look no further than the Oxbow Regional Park! This beautiful place has swimming, kayaking, fishing, plus plenty of paths to experience nature up close and personal. Or maybe you’re wanting to experience nature in a different type of land setting? Salish Ponds Wetland Park is your answer. There’s two large ponds that provide great places to fish or just enjoy the scenery.
