The Lents Neighborhood Association is excited about this year’s Ramona Street Fair, despite the city making a last-minute change to the route for Sunday Parkways.

The second annual Ramona Street Fair is scheduled for 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. July 18 on Ramona Street, between 92nd Avenue and the I-205 Multi-Use Path/Lents Town Center MAX Station.

The event features food, music, craft vendors and information booths. It also links the I-205 path — which is open for cyclists and pedestrians — to the Lents International Farmers Market and the Lents Town Center commercial district.

Originally, the event was planned to provide pedestrians and cyclists on the Sunday Parkways’ southern loop with an attractive connection to the Lents Town Center. The route changed because the Portland Parks Department’s reconstruction of the Springwater Trail is incomplete and the Portland Bureau of Transportation, which organizes the parkways, was unaware of the ongoing trail work.

The Lents Neighborhood Association, which is organizing the event, is hopeful cyclists will venture off the remaining loop to visit the Lents Town Center’s businesses, farmers market and street fair.
