From clothes to cars to computers, the kinds of things that you and your family depend on every day are delivered through the Port of Portland’s marine terminals. Because most of the activity happens behind the scenes, the terminals have always been a bit of a mystery—until now. You are invited inside the fences to the fourth annual Seaport Celebration at Terminal 6 on August 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This isn’t your average “open house.” It’s a free, pirate-themed party at the port! As you step off of the complimentary shuttle, you’ll be welcomed by a live pirate band, fun games and entertaining exhibits. Enjoy live demonstrations of heavy duty equipment, walk inside a container box, or take a tour of the facility—you can even virtually pilot a container ship on a computer.
There will be plenty of activities especially for the kids, including a giant bouncy pirate ship, play area with sand, face painting, games and fun giveaways. Members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union will be serving up free food from the grill while supplies last, and ice cream will be available for purchase.
Back by popular demand this year is the hit pirate band Captain Bogg and Salty, with live shows at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The costumed act blends original music with humor and history. Pirate jigs, mermaid lullabies, and rock & roll sea chanteys are interspersed with nautical advice and humor for buccaneers of all ages. New to the event this year is Radio Disney, bringing a variety of entertainment to the main stage.
Terminal 6 is located at 7201 N. Marine Drive, near Kelley Point Park. From Interstate 5, follow the signage to the terminal and you will be directed into the shuttle lot at the entrance to the facility. All adults must have a valid, government issued photo identification card to enter the premises.
