Even Miss Delta can’t stop Portlanders from enjoying the dog days of summer, and this week brings a hot lineup of events to match the heatwave that’s also coming our way midway through the week. Peruse our top picks through Sunday, from The Lot’s Summer Music Festival to what is quite possibly the state’s stinkiest event—the 23rd Annual Garlic Festival.
Don’t forget to mask up indoors per CDC guidelines. Check out our running list of venues who have recently updated their COVID-19 policies.
TUESDAY
ACTIVISM & SOCIAL JUSTICE
Rally for Workers’ Rights
Labor union ILWU Local 5 will gather folks to show support for the workers in and around Portland who are fighting for a union, a contract, or like Powell’s workers, fighting to defend their hard-won contracts. Workers will share their stories and the rally will be followed by a family-friendly action at Powell’s City of Books.
