The weather’s heating up this weekend and so is the event calendar. From Mississippi Street Fair to Summer Free for All Outdoor Events, and from Powell’s Books Warehouse Sale to the White Lotus Summer Market, there’s plenty to squeeze into your schedule. And don’t forget, there are even more suggestions in our top picks guide.
FRIDAY
FOOD & DRINK
Friday Picnics in the Park
Easiest date idea ever just dropped: Every Friday through the end of August, Sellwood Community House is offering boxed dinners ($14 for adults, $7 for kids) and loaning picnic blankets for you to enjoy an evening outdoors accompanied by live music performances. Heck, it doesn’t even need to be a date, this sounds like a perfect evening for solo self-care when you’d rather be outside than cook for yourself. You’ll find me chowing down on the vegan and gluten-free option (god I love Portland). SHANNON LUBETICH
