Performance Schedule

Laissez les bons temps roulez! The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus organizes a family-friendly Portland Mardi Gras Parade every year ("the last Mardi Gras Parade in America"). TBGO was part of this event for the first time in 2017 and returns to the scene of the crime for another year . Parade steps off at 7 PM at Victoria Bar, 4835 N Albina Ave, and heads south on Albina and Mississippi Avenue to Ecliptic Brewing at 825 N Cook.

Northeast Portland is throwing its 33rd Annual St Patrick's Day Parade (read the story of this quirky event here). We'll head west from Fernwood/Cleary School (NE 33rd & Hancock) at 1 PM. Huzzah for neighborhood parades!

The Metal Powder Industries Federation is coming to Portland for PowderMet 2022 to confer and otherwise hobnob with their fellow wizards. TBGO will be there to kick off the conference in style!

After a two year hiatus, the St. Helens Kiwanis Community Parade hits the streets again with a theme of "Coming Back Together 2022". The parade proceeds down Columbia Blvd to Old Town, stepping off at Noon. Look for us at the Shriner's BBQ following the parade!

We've got a wedding to attend! Looking forward to adding a little more "special" to one happy couple's special day.

Morningstar Senior Living is hosting a micro-parade (i.e., just TBGO) at its Beaverton location to celebrate Independence Day. We'll be there beginning at 1:30 pm for a little marching and a few mini-shows with fun tunes to liven up the weekend.

The Claremont Community (NW Country Club Dr) stages a July Fourth neighborhood parade every year featuring decorated golf carts, classic cars, and free ice cream and drinks. The sheriff's department sends motorcycle police and TVFR sends a fire engine. And THIS year they'll have a marching band -- us! Parade steps off around 1:30 pm and catch our show near the Clubhouse afterward.

PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED

Newberg throws a great party and a fun parade! The Grand Parade steps off at 10 AM, then stop by Memorial Park for our post-parade show (time TBD). Let's have a little old-fashioned fun!

The Bridlemile Neighborhood Association hosts a National Night Out celebration with a picnic in Hamilton Park beginning about 6:00 PM. Since no one wants a quiet, pleasant picnic they've asked us to liven up the joint <grin!>. Hope to see all you folks from the Raleigh Hills area at the park!

PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED

The Gladstone Community Festival began as the Chautauqua Festival in 1894. Now, more than 125 years later, this event continues to bring Gladstone together to celebrate summer with a wide array of entertainment and events. Parade steps off at 10 AM from Gladstone High School and heads down and around Portland Avenue, ending at Max Patterson Park. TBGO will also perform in Max Patterson Park immediately following the parade.

PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED

Multnomah Days is back! We love the folks in Multnomah Village, and they've been kind enough to return the favor over the years. There isn't a parade this year, but the Street Fair will be in full swing. Join us near the Lucky Lab Pub for 30 minutes of TBGO tunes beginning at 3:05 pm.

The Oregon State Fair is back in action this year and we'll join them throughout the 2022 run of the Fair. If you're walking along the promenade and hear something odd behind you -- take a look, it's probably us on parade! Check out the livestock, ride some rides, eat stuff that's not good for you, and we'll see you in Salem.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that affects over 100,000 Americans — and millions worldwide. Some two million Americans are carriers of the sickle cell gene. TBGO will be there to help kick off the walk for this fundraiser. Registration begins at 8 AM, with the walk stepping off around 9.

Join TBGO at the Portland Veterans Day Parade in its new location as we honor our veterans. Parade steps off at 10:00 AM traveling north on NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd from NE Beech St to NE Alberta St.

Got a big birthday coming up? Bring TBGO to the party and it'll be one you won't forget!!!

We're looking forward to a visit to Portland's Living Room. It's always a blast to play downtown and bask in the glow of Portland's Christmas tree. We'll see you from Noon to 1 PM in Pioneer Courthouse Square for an hour of tunes as you finish your last-minute shopping. 'Tis the season!!!
