The 2nd annual Timbers Army Block Party takes place Saturday, 15 August 2015 in front of the Fanladen (1633 SW Alder) between 16th and 17th.
Of course there’s a big tent for shade – and a beer and cider garden (21 and over, $4 beers for 107ist members), in addition to food vendors, a bouncy castle for the kids, music, games, and more.
At 7 PM watch the Timbers face Real Salt Lake on one of the multiple outdoor screens.
All proceeds benefit the 107ist Community Fund.
The Hawthorne Street Fair takes place Saturday, 16 August 2015, from 11 AM to 7 PM.
This one hasn’t always been my favorite – they didn’t used to close the street so you still had Hawthorne’s voluminous auto traffic to put up with – I understand this year that Hawthorne Boulevard will be closed, from about 30th to 39th (though I see nothing about the 14 bus line detour this would require on TriMet.com, so stay tuned!).
In any case vendors will populate the street from 31st to 38th, there will be two beer gardens (one at Bazi on 32nd and the other at the Hophouse on 41st), kids activities at 35th, music at the stage at 34th, and more.
And about that Bazi Bierbrasserie (1522 SE 32nd Ave) beer garden? It’s also the 4th Annual The Mighty Mites Session Fest, an all-ages friendly outdoor beer garden featuring a special cocktail, outdoor games, and food vendors. Find more details, including prices and beer and cider list, at BaziPDX.com.
Might be a fun one! We’re planning on going this year. Heather and I last attended this one in 2009, when the SE Sunday Parkways fell on the same day (as it has a number of years), though it does not this year. It did not suck.
For a change of pace this summer, this weekend’s outdoor activities won’t be ruined by 100 degree temperatures. The Bite, Alberta Street Fair, Movies in the Park, and more!
From coast to Cascades to canyons, the Bite of Oregon is a stunning celebration of Oregon, its food, its people and its extraordinary quality of life. Come join the fun at the best summer party on the Portland waterfront and discover Oregon’s Bounty!
This well organized festival features three main stages for musical acts and more; two beer gardens and a wine garden (which parents will be glad to know permit children – you just need to be 21 or over to drink); exhibitions of bike polo and 3×3 soccer; and of course countless vendors and food purveyors.
After Bridge Pedal, TriMet and the City of Portland will host an afternoon preview of the bridge for bicyclists and pedestrians. Add Tilikum Crossing to your Sunday stroll or bike ride—and get ready for your selfie with Portland’s newest icon!
