Although the delta variant is proving to be a bit of a killjoy, summer events are pushing on full steam ahead. Fortunately, a majority of events are taking place outdoors to take full advantage of the sunny season, and some hybrid events are still on the books. Heading to an indoor event? The county and state do recommend resuming indoor masking regardless of vaccination status. To make sure you’re not left with FOMO, we’ve rounded up our pick of the crop, from music festivals like the Vanport Jazz Festival and The Lot Summer Music Festival to entire weeks dedicated to a single theme like Sneaker Week PDX, PDX Hip Hop Week, and Portland Mercury’s Burger Week.
