# Event Details - **Event Name**: Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: City of Possibility's "Downtown to the Waterfront" workshop series explores how these two very different neighborhoods can better connectAbout this EventCity of Possibility is pleased to present the draft findings of our workshops to re-envision two downtown neighborhoods' and their connections to Waterfront Park.With the City of Portland's upcoming design competition to re-envision Waterfront Park, City of Possibility has convened a series of workshops, or charrettes, to explore how to better connect downtown to the waterfront -- to create a better park and spur more residential and neighborhood development in downtown. The draft results of our first study--the Harvey Milk and Oak corridor--can be found here. Now we turn to South Downtown and Old Town/Chinatown. Despite PSU, the Halprin Open Space Sequence fountain plazas and other major assets, South Downtown remains cut off from the river by 1960s-era roads and buildings. With its array of cultural institutions, older and new aid organizations, and the coming of the Steel Bridge skate park, Old Town/Chinatown is ripe for reinvention. After meeting with numerous neighborhood leaders and organizations, City of Possiblity brought some 60 urban designers and creatives together with top city decision-makers to explore how these districts can become, in effect, waterfront neighborhoods where more Portlanders will want to work and live. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/connecting-south-downtown-and-old-town-chinatown-to-the-waterfront/100001985757592414 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, contests, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Jk Gill Building, 408 SW Fifth Ave - **lat**: 45.52050999999999 - **long**: -122.676282 - **full address**: Jk Gill Building, 408 SW Fifth Ave, 408 Southwest Fifth Ave, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Connecting+South+Downtown+and+Old+Town+Chinatown+to+the+Waterfront&date=Thu%2C+09+Apr%2C+2026+at+05%3A30+pm&bg=5 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront being held? - **A:** Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront takes place on Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Jk Gill Building, 408 SW Fifth Ave, 408 Southwest Fifth Ave, Portland, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront? - **A:** Tickets for Connecting South Downtown and Old Town Chinatown to the Waterfront are priced at USD 23 per person.
