Waltz Eclectic Summer Black & White Ball

Directors Park,  SW Park and SW Yamhill St


6:00 - 10:00 p.m. Dance on a portable dance floor under the stars with
Dennis' best music echoing through the buildings of downtown Portland.

Portland's newest public space, Director Park, will be the backdrop for our summer ball. 
For a peek, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_Park

Public parking lot just across the street at 9th and SW Taylor. Or take the MAX...

$20 Tickets are limited to maximize the dancers' enjoyment. Gender balance will be attempted. Tickets available now!

The space on the dancefloor is sold, but you are invited to come down to the park and if you are able, dance on the stone paving that is there.

Portland Parks and Recreation will be publicizing the dance as free, but to dance on the portable dance floor, you must pay. The rest of the surfaces of the park are roughened granite tiles.
