Hey, Portlanders (or those of you who want to be)! It’s a gorgeous Friday.
Let’s go do fun things!
Get your culture on:
$5 Fridays at the Portland Art Museum. Every Friday after 5pm, admission to the Portland Art Museum is just $5.
A drinking fest (or two) every weekend:
Cheers to Belgian Beers. Friday 5-9 p.m. Saturday Noon to 8 p.m. Free to get in, but $15 for glass + 5 Drink Tickets.
Whiskeytown USA. Friday 4-9pm, Saturday 12-9pm. Tickets are $28, which seems like an awful lot, so maybe just walk around over there and see what’s going on. Then maybe sit in the park nearby and watch shenanigans from afar.
Outside shopping (small purchases only):
It’s a lovely weekend for the Portland Farmers Market, the Portland Saturday Market (take your mom! Buy her an iced tea!)
Outdoor parades:
St. Johns Bizarre Street Fair. Saturday 10am-7pm. I’ve been to this before, and it’s … well, bizarre is actually the right word.
Fun run with your dog:
The Humane Society is doing their annual Doggie Dash Saturday. $35, or free, if you just want to go people/dog watch. It’s fun, but only go if you like dogs. Because if you don’t like dogs, you’ll hate the doggie dash.
Gotta fill your belly:
Nong’s Khao Man Gai. Chicken and rice. $8. Completely delicious. How can you tell I’m serious? They catered my wedding. I’m serious. I love this food.
