Online preregistration and meal selection options are no longer available.
See you on the boat!
This event promises to be unforgettably fun with all proceeds directly benefiting the academic, social thinking and financial aid programs of Bridges Middle School.
You will enjoy an exhilarating dinner cruise through the waters of Portland, Oregon, with fine dining and a view of the downtown skyline aboard this exclusive Portland Spirit benefit cruise! The Portland Spirit will pass along the downtown area, exposing amazing views of the city that just can’t be found on dry land! We will cruise upstream through the Willamette River to the Milwaukie Basin and Lake Oswego areas near the downtown district. Eyes will fill with the breathtaking views of Portland’s downtown skyline and the Cascade Mountains. View an interactive map of the Portland Dinner Cruise route.
