Summer in Portland?! Not quite, but it certainly feels like it! We plan on getting out and enjoying this fair weather! We’ve put together some suggestions for those of you who can’t stay inside on a beautiful day! Come down to one (or all of them!) this weekend, and be sure to bring some friends or the family!

May 15th – 4 The Culture Pop Up Market! (FREE!!)

One of the best things about Portland is the many opportunities to support local business. Farmers Markets are extremely popular, but we have something a little different to suggest this week! Billy Webb Elks Lodge is putting together a Pop-Up Market for you to enjoy and support our African-American local community! Billy Webb Elks Lodge is culturally significant and a key historical landmark as it stands as reminder of Portland’s largely segregated history. Come down and show your support this Saturday, but don’t forget to reserve your tickets first!

May 16th – Portland Trail Blazers v Denver Nuggets!

Blaze on Trail Blazers! Nothing quite screams “Portland Pride” like a gathering of Blazer fans! Now that COVID restrictions are loosening, it’s time to paint our faces red and join in on cheering our team on. They play the Denver Nuggets at the Moda Center at 6:00pm! Get your tickets here — fast before they sell out!! — and current stats for the teams here!

May 16th – Kids in the Kitchen: Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes! (Age 7+, $35)

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for….cupcakes?!?!”

The tag line for this event really does say it all! There’s nothing more invaluable that we teach our kids, than how to take care of themselves. Kids in the Kitchen is a series of events that teach your littles how to cook. They get to make cute and silly creations to bring home, and this week, they have something special planned: Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes! So bring your little helper down to Collective Market and let them learn something new while having a blast doing it! And who knows? One day, they could be the next MasterChef! Sign up here!

Check back every Thursday as we continue to guide you through the weekends with options for outdoor activities, art projects, personal growth opportunities, and so much more!
