Summertime and the livin’s easy, and this week is no exception. Portland is offering plenty of ways to get cultured on the cheap, so you can sound impressive next Monday when someone asks you what you did over the weekend. From offerings spanning outdoor markets like the Beaverton Night Market and Pomarius Plein Air’s Wild Roots Farm & Friends to dance nights Stomptown in the Street! and Church of Hive, you’re sure to find something that strikes your fancy.
