PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — On the last full day of summer 2025, dozens of organizations joined up in downtown Portland for the first-ever Sun Day calling for affordable clean energy that’s reliable and ready.

Third Act Oregon put the event together at the Battleship Oregon Memorial in Portland. Sen. Jeff Merkley was among the speakers in an afternoon event which also featured Indigenous dancers, music from DJs and plenty of tables to find information about clean energy.

The Sun Day event is taking place around the United States. The New York Times took note of the event in Portland, stating it was likely the biggest Sun Day event of the day, “a large festival including 25 vendors, a parade across a local bridge, Indigenous dance performers, and a menagerie of giant papier-mâché animal puppets to float above the crowd.”

KOIN 6 News will have more information later in the day.
