Wednesday, September 2: Main Community Painting Day
Wednesday will be our primary painting and celebration day, with volunteers working together throughout the day to transform Uptown.
🎨 Community painting: 8 AM–5 PM
🥕 Port Townsend Wednesday Farmers Market: 3–6 PM on Lawrence Street
🎶 Music and festivities in Uptown
Come paint for a shift, visit the Farmers Market, enjoy the festivities, support Uptown businesses, or make a whole day of it!
Help Fund the Mural
We are currently about $2,000 short of covering the project costs, and community donations of any size will help us get this mural painted.
Funds raised toward that amount will also help us care for the mural in future years, including touch-ups after road repairs and when the mural is ready for a fresh coat.

Street Closures
To safely clean and paint the streets:
🚧 Tyler Street, from Garfield to Lawrence and Lawrence to Clay, will be closed September 1–3.
🚧 Lawrence Street, from Polk to Taylor, will be closed September 2 only.
Rain dates: September 8–10. Lawrence Street’s backup closure date is September 9.
Please continue supporting Uptown businesses during the project! Follow posted detour routes and keep shopping, dining, and visiting throughout the neighborhood.
Street murals are used in communities across the country to help calm traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and create welcoming public spaces. Pride crosswalks are also visible symbols of affirmation, respect, solidarity, and inclusion for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members and reflect our community’s commitment to welcoming people of all identities.
This project is about more than painting a street. It is an opportunity for neighbors of all ages to come together and create a lasting piece of public art celebrating community, inclusivity, Pride, local food, and the vibrant character of Uptown Port Townsend.
Grab a paintbrush and be part of it!
