What\u2019s Waiting For You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


The Closing Party is more than just a celebration, it\u2019s an experience. We\u2019ve lined up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Food Trucks.<\/strong> Come hungry! Portland\u2019s food truck scene is famous for a reason. Grab bold Korean-Mexican fusion from KOi Fusion<\/a> or bite into slider-sized comfort classics from Home Plate Sliders<\/a>. Perfect fuel for mingling, playing cornhole, and squeezing in just \u201cone more conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drinks with a Local Twist. <\/strong>Raise a glass (or two) to WordCamp! Local vendors like Occidental Brewing<\/a>, A to Z Wineworks<\/a>, and Acrobat<\/a> will provide you with flavorful ales and perfectly balanced wines, while inside the Discovery Museum, you can sip on our signature mocktail, PeachPress. While you\u2019re toasting with friends, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comforting Desserts.<\/strong> Because no party is complete without dessert. Indulge in gourmet, gluten-free s\u2019mores roasted on-site by Marsh & Mallow Co.<\/a> or cool off with playful layers of creamy custard and Italian ice from Oh My Gelati<\/a>. Sweet, fun, and very Portland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Discovery Museum.<\/strong> Between bites and beats, wander into the World Forestry Center\u2019s Discovery Museum<\/a>. (psst: It\u2019s included with the party!<\/em><\/strong>) Interactive exhibits and immersive displays make for a one-of-a-kind backdrop to your evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Live Tunes!<\/strong> Tap your foot, get your air guitar (or drums!) ready, and let the music carry the night. The local pros from Blue Wave Band will be your live soundtrack to keep conversations buzzing, energy high, and smiles wide. It’s the perfect backdrop to laugh with old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate everything you\u2019ve taken in this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting There Made Easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


By Rideshare.<\/strong> Lyft and Uber rides from the Oregon Convention Center to the World Forestry Center take just under 15 minutes<\/a> off-peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

By Public Transit.<\/strong> Great news, this option is FREE with the included train ticket we have provided. The Washington Park Max Station is directly across the street from the World Forestry Center. You could throw a s\u2019more and hit it (but don\u2019t, they are delicious!). Point being, it couldn\u2019t be easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take the RED LINE from the Convention Center MAX Station (toward Hills Airport\/Fairgrounds) to the Washington Park MAX Station. The best train to get you there on time leaves at 6:24 pm. Another option is taking the BLUE LINE from the Convention Center MAX Station (toward Hillsboro). The best train to get you there on time leaves at 6:31 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

By Car.<\/strong> A quick drive<\/a> from the Oregon Convention Center, with parking available for $2.40 per hour. To round it all out, check out this information<\/a> from the World Forestry Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a Friend.<\/strong> Would you rather show up with a friend? Team up with a WP Trail Buddy<\/a>! There to commute and hang with you while you decide which vendors to give your food and drink tickets to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
