Spring has officially sprung in Portland’s Central City with the return of the annual Bloom Tour. This year’s event features twenty-nine stunning large-scale floral installations that are sure to capture attention during Portland’s Rose Festival.
The Bloom Tour is part walking tour and part art show with a focus on supporting some of Portland’s unique shops, restaurants and hotels. Even the Lan Su Chinese Garden will be hosting a large-scale floral installation, so follow the tour map and explore them all
Running from May 11 to June 11, the Bloom Tour will showcase the work of many talented artists and florists who have designed and created these eye-catching art pieces that can be viewed rain or shine. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is a can’t-miss opportunity to explore the city, capture some truly amazing photos and show your support for the Downtown and Old Town communities.
Participating retailers will be offering special botanical and floral deals, so visit all thirty locations for details. Follow along with the Visit Downtown social media channels to learn more about each location.
