This is a really special event for us, ya'll. It has been awhile since the Pacific Regiment has had an Oregon presence, and we are trying to make this year one to remember. The 405th has always been a steadfast ally of all of our members, no matter their background. Our community strives to be a safe space where anyone can feel welcome.

We are partnering with the Autism Society of Oregon with an adjacent booth during the Waterfront Festival. While we will be operating autonomously from them, this is a big deal - they have trusted us to be professional and courteous while we are there and importantly, to help draw attention to their booth.

I know that we are always expected to be on our best behavior for events, but this time it is serious. We have the opportunity here to go and show our support for two groups that could really use it. This could also be a big step in a potential ongoing relationship with the Autism Society, who have expressed interest in having us participate in more events with them. Please help us make a good impression.


For the Parade, we will have approximately 25 slots available for those who want to participate in the walk. While I don't expect us to hit that limit, due to the large amount of attention on our group(s) we will be limiting these to full members (50/90) or those who have been approved by PerniciousDuke or myself. Reach out to us if you are interested. <SIGN UP SHEET for Parade Participation>


I will be updating this thread as new information becomes available.

We will need Regiment members in costume and Regiment members as fabulous handlers during the parade. We will also need a non costumed Regiment member to work the booth during the parade.

If you'd like to participate and are not a Regiment member please message ArcSol or myself and we will let you know.
