Reflections on the River

Since 2018, Willamette Vital Health has offered our community the opportunity to celebrate, honor, and remember those who have died and are missing from our lives at the Reflections on the River event in September.

Riverfront park

You are invited to celebrate, honor, and remember your loved ones at the 7th Annual Reflections on the River event from 7:00 - 9:00 pm Thursday, September 5th, 2024.

The self-paced River Walk and luminaria-lit labyrinth will be available from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, including remembrance activities and information for the whole family. The River Walk will stretch from the north parking lot to the Riverfront Park Amphitheater. Music will be featured along the illuminated labyrinth and pathways. New for 2024, there will be no formal sit-down program or speakers.
Handwritten, personalized luminarias will be available for purchase for $10 at the event or pre-purchase a printed luminaria that you can take home at the conclusion of the event.
