Frolic through fields of tulips at the annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

We know losing an hour of sleep is always a rough transition, but this week has some promising things to look forward to. As luck would have it, there’s plenty of exceptional events happening, from opening weekend of the 38th Annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival to the NCAA March Madness Tournament and from Trixie & Katya Live to Portland Mercury‘s Highball Week. For more ideas, check out our complete St. Patrick’s Day calendar.
Although
Oregon’s statewide mask mandate has been lifted, venues may have their own health guidelines in place. We advise directly checking the specific protocols for an event before heading out.
