Oregon Symphony

Posted on

Free concert in the park? You can count on us being there : ) Every year the Oregon Symphony holds a free concert on the waterfront downtown on Labor Day weekend. The program started at 2:30 pm with various performers all afternoon, but we didn’t arrive until 7 when the actual symphony played and of course we stayed until the end to see the fireworks!IMG_4547_1

IMG_4565_1I LOVE watching the bridge move up and down. The barge the bridge moved for is where all the fireworks were launched.

The mayor of Portland, Charlie Hales, was the guest conductor for “The Stars and Stripes.” Mom, listening to this song made me miss playing it with you!
