Fun Portland Activities during the Holidays


There are so many fun things to do around Portland during the holidays. Some of these activities have been traditions that my family have continued over the years since I was a child. We always have a great time cutting down our Christmas tree. There are quite a few tree farms close to the Arbor Crossing and Arbor Pass neighborhoods. Some of the ones my family has gone to before are:
Helvetia Christmas Tree Farm: 12814 NW Bishop Rd. Hillsboro, Or 97124.
Andy's Tree Farm: 14713 NW Germantown Rd. Portland, Oregon 97231.
Parry's U Cut Tree Farm: 45627 NW David Hill Rd. Forest Grove, Oregon 97116.
Baggenstos Farm: 20200 NW Murphy Rd. North Plains, Oregon 97133.
Hagg's Tree Farm: 18265 SW McCormick Hill Rd. Hillsboro, Oregon 97123.
Besides the family outing cutting down our tree, we usually try to do something festive around town. Peacock Lane has always been a favorite, whether we walk down the street and enjoy a hot chocolate, or stay in the warm car and drive down the beautifully lit street. The Queen Anne Victorian Mansion is beautiful this time of year. The Portland Zoo also has a light festival that is fun for the whole family, and one of Portland's biggest celebration is the Festival of Lights at the Grotto. Take some time over the holidays to slow down and enjoy spending time with your family and try one of theses great places to spend a day. with the family. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
