Skip the mall Santa for some real holiday magic. A Charlie Brown Christmas is coming to life on stage, with live jazz and cozy nostalgia. Snoopy won’t be there (he’s booked), but you could be for free!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Rave now, nap later. Earlybirds Club throws parties for people who wake up on purpose. Join in at Wonder Ballroom in February.

• Silversun Pickups make fuzzed-out anthems with wall-of-sound guitars and whisper-to-wail vocals. Get tickets to the Tenterhooks Tour landing in Eugene in March.

• Rosebud Baker tells jokes like she’s holding a cigarette and a grudge. It’s savage. It’s smart. It’s somehow healing. She’s spending two nights at Polaris Hall in March!

• Oklou’s music sounds like a fairy glitching in a digital forest. Experience ethereal vocals and cinematic synths at Crystal Ballroom in April.

• Wolfmother brings riffs for days, solos for miles, and enough fuzz to carpet a van to Revolution Hall in July.

THE BEST VINTAGE & THRIFT STORES

Portland doesn’t do fast fashion — it does weird, worn-in, and one-of-one. We hit the racks to find the city’s best vintage and thrift spots, from closet-sized Y2K dens to warehouse treasure troves where you can score a $12 leather trench and a cowboy hat your ex will regret losing you in.

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• The Oregon State Fairgrounds will transform into a Holiday Village starting on November 21. Classic carnival rides, a tree maze, Santa photos, seasonal treats, and a holiday lights drive-thru run through January 3!
