Rainier Valley Heritage Parade & Summer Streets
August 16, Noon to 5:30 p.m.
The hydro races and Blue Angels are long gone by the time Seafair events wrap up for the season, when Columbia City hosts the final parade with the Rainier Valley Heritage Parade. The new PCC TasteMobile will hand out goodies during the parade and present a make-your-own trail mix activity for the Summer Streets festival immediately following, when Rainier Avenue is closed to cars for a nine-block stretch. Come enjoy this celebration of cultural diversity in Rainier Valley, where we’ll be opening a new location in 2015.
