About
PolaCon Portland is coming! During the weekend of August 7–9, 2026 join us for a three-day instant film celebration featuring workshops, photowalks, demos, and community fun.
As part of the celebration, we are hosting a mellow paced ride following an almost-but-not-quite-a-loop around the central city. We'll stop at several photogenic locations to take pictures. While the focus of this ride is on instant photography, it is open to all bikes and cameras. Skateboards and other personal wheeled mobility devices also welcome. And there are plenty of Biketown stations near the start if you need to grab a bikeshare.
Route is still being finalized, but we will have a few spots where non-cyclists can meet up.
