Besides being Israel's 78th Birthday today as Israelis celebrate Yom Hatzmaut, in the States, people are celebrating Earth Day. 
In 2026, Earth Day falls on Wednesday, April 22nd, and there will be events all month in Portland & Oregon including festivals, marches, concerts, volunteer opportunities, and more.
2026 Portland Earth Day Weekend Events:
- March 20-April 26: Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival | 40 Acres of Flowers, Food & Drink, Shopping (Win Tickets, $164)
- All Month: Hood River Tulip Festival @ Packer Orchards & Farm Place | 10am-5pm, U-Pick, Baby Animals, Farm Tours Keliq Washington, runner
I can't help but add something that will be going on in Eugene, Oregon. It is all sorts of marathon events, and the one I will be watching and cheering on is the 26 miler with my friend and care-taker, Ki Washington, born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He has a terrible time when the Portland Trailblazers play Denver. I know our nurse, Chrissy, will be there cheering him on for all of us in Oswego Springs Assisted Living.
The 2026 Eugene Marathon, scheduled for April 26, is a premier, sold-out Pacific Northwest event ("TrackTown USA") featuring a flat, fast Boston-qualifying course. Participants run through Eugene and Springfield, finishing on the historic Hayward Field track. The weekend includes a half-marathon, 5K, and kids' race, attracting roughly 15,000 runners.
