Union Street Railroad Bridge along with the
Peter Courtney Minto Island Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge connect three major urban parks:
Entertainment
See what’s happening at the
Elsinore,
Grand, or
Capitol Theaters. Check out the many many coffee shops. Enjoy hard ciders and micro-brews in the Alley between Chemeketa and State Street (between Liberty and Commercial). Experience live music nightly at several locations or catch a comedy show. In the summer, enjoy concerts and
movies in Riverfront Park.

With so much to experience, consider staying for more than a day. Grab a room at a local bed and breakfast or at the
Grand Hotel, conveniently located within walking distance of Downtown.
