Each banner showcases an icon highlighting the industries and culture that define the Central Eastside:

Skateboard – A tribute to the legendary Burnside Skatepark, an iconic DIY spot built by skaters, for skaters.
Beer – Highlighting the thriving craft beer scene, the Central Eastside has become a must-visit destination for beer enthusiasts.
Microphone – Symbolizing our vibrant music venues, where local and touring artists bring unforgettable performances to the District.
Bike – The preferred way to get around, with the car-free Tilikum and Blumenauer bridges, the Eastbank Esplanade’s scenic ride, and the longest stretch of the bike-friendly green loop connecting the district to the rest of Portland.
Fruits & Veggies – A call back to our deep roots in produce and distribution, with food markets and suppliers that have shaped the district for decades.
Coffee – Home to countless independent coffee shops and roasters pushing the industry forward with bold flavors.
Oar – Representing the District’s connection to the Willamette River and the Eastbank Esplanade, where paddlers, runners, and cyclists come together.
These banners are a visual celebration of the Central Eastside’s diverse identity, bringing together the many industries, businesses, and people who contribute to the district’s vibrancy. They not only capture the essence of the area’s cultural and industrial impact, but also serve as a reminder of why we’re proud to be a part of this dynamic community.
