At EllyPop, some of our favorite moments happen outside the freezer aisle.
This Fourth of July, we had the opportunity to set up a booth at the annual Eastmoreland Fourth of July Parade and Celebration in Portland, Oregon, and it was an incredible day filled with community, connection, and lots of smiles.
A Beloved Portland Tradition
Now in its 32nd year, the Eastmoreland Fourth of July Parade has become a cherished neighborhood tradition that brings together families, local businesses, artists, musicians, and community organizations for a fun-filled day of celebration.
The event featured:
- A family-friendly parade led by a Portland Fire engine
- Live music from the Portland Power Pep Band
- Vintage cars from the Milwaukie Mustang Club
- A local art fair
- A petting zoo
- Decorated bikes and scooters
- Food, drinks, and activities for all ages
With more than 1,000 community members expected to attend, it was the perfect place to connect with families and share what EllyPop is all about.
Sharing EllyPop with Families
Throughout the day, we loved meeting parents, kids, and neighbors while handing out EllyPop samples and talking about what makes our freezer pops different.
Made with organic fruit juice, herbal tea blends, and essential electrolytes, EllyPop was created by naturopathic doctors with one mission in mind: giving families a refreshing freezer pop made with kids in mind.
Watching little ones discover their favorite flavors while parents learned more about our story is exactly why we love participating in local events like this.
Why Community Matters
Community has always been at the heart of EllyPop.
Whether we're partnering with schools, neighborhood events, wellness organizations, bike buses, or local retailers, we believe some of the best conversations happen face-to-face.
Every event gives us the chance to meet families, hear their stories, answer questions, and continue building relationships with the communities we serve.
We're grateful to the Eastmoreland Neighborhood Association and everyone involved in organizing such a welcoming and memorable celebration.
More to Come!
Summer is full of opportunities to get out into the community, and we're excited for what's ahead.
If you missed us at the Eastmoreland Fourth of July Parade, don't worry! We'll continue popping up at local events throughout the season, sharing samples, meeting families, and celebrating healthy summer fun.
