Holy shit there’s a lot to do this weekend! Usually I publish this weekend roundup post on Thursday, but I really think we all need some extra time this week to make our weekend plans. We have multiple beer, music, and street fair events, in addition to a Timbers match and the July Sunday Parkways.
Friday
The first annual PDX.FM Unicorn Pub Crawl takes place Friday, July 16th on North Mississippi Avenue.
“Calling all of the demented, fanciful, whimsical, and unparalleled inhabitants of the ancient unicorn burial ground also known as Portland, Oregon…” [more]

Saturday
The Big Busk 2010 takes place Saturday, July 17th in downtown Portland. What exactly is the Big Busk?
“The idea is, for an entire afternoon, to saturate downtown with music. All kinds of music. Up and down Broadway, the transit mall, the park blocks to the esplanade.” [more]
Woodstock Festival and Parade 2010
The 2010 Woodstock Festival and Parade takes place Saturday, July 17th, and features a day of fun, frivolity and music for the Woodstock neighborhood from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. . . .
The Bee reports that “all the fun is on Woodstock Boulevard from S.E. 41st eastward; the parade forms at Our Lady of Sorrows at S.E. 52nd at Woodstock Boulevard, and travels west to the disband area near All Saints’ Episcopal Church.” [more]

Portland Timbers vs Manchester City
Our humble Portland Timbers of the USSF division 2 face one of the richest football clubs in the world, Manchester City of the English Premier League this Saturday, July 17th 2010.
The 31 man traveling roster for Manchester City includes three players who represented their countries in the 2010 World Cup finals: Shaun Wright-Phillips (England), Kolo Toure and midfielder Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast). [more]
Sunday
The third Sunday Parkways of 2010 takes place this Sunday, July 18th in East Portland. Take the opportunity to spend a pleasant summery Sunday morning and afternoon (10am to 3pm) winding your way on bike or foot through the mostly residential, car free, streets of East Portland. The routes take you from one park to the next, where you can check out the vendors and demonstrations, or just sit down and relax. [more]
The second annual Ramona Street Fair takes place Sunday, July 18th.
“The event features food, music, craft vendors and information booths. It also links the I-205 path — which is open for cyclists and pedestrians — to the Lents International Farmers Market and the Lents Town Center commercial district.” [more]
Whew!
