Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Once the OBF parade reached the festival grounds at Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the “official” wooden festival keg was wheeled into place for the ceremonial tapping by the mayor of Portland, signifying the official opening of the 21st annual Oregon Brewers Festival.

Portland Mayor Tom Potter, on hand to open the festival.
