Please i need to know wish place is better to watch the fireworks Canby (downtown) or Tom McCall Waterfront Park please let me know please
I have not been to the Canby show, but I do like Portland’s waterfront show. I parked on the east side because it’s easier to find parking (unless you want to pay to park in a downtown lot).
