There are dozens of reasons to leave this house this weekend on the cheap, and we’re sharing them all below, from the Portland Cinco de Mayo Fiesta to City Cast Portland’s 503 Day Block Party and from the Crafty Wonderland Spring Art + Craft Market to A Celebration of the Life of Michael Hurley. For more ideas, check out this week’s top event picks.

FRIDAY

LIVE MUSIC

Smokey Brights
On their new album, Levitator, Seattle-based rock band Smokey Brights gives more of a punch than ever before with wailing vocals and ’70s arena-rock instrumentation. Treat yourself to an evening of cathartic Americana rock as they support the album alongside folk ensemble Brooklyn Del & The Revelators. AUDREY VANN
(The Showdown, Hosford-Abernethy, $15)
