If you’re looking for new places to hang this summer, I’ve got you covered. I always love exploring around the Gorge, and Griffin House is not to be slept on. Somewhere between a perfect sunset and your third drink, it turns into the best place to catch live music all summer.

We’re hooking you up with tickets to their Columbia Gorge concert series featuring Rose City Band, Left On Tenth, Countryside Ride, and Tahirah Memory — aka a stacked lineup with serious view flex. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The Portland Pickles are back, and summer nights at Walker Stadium are calling. Grab your tickets, bring your friends, and lean into the weird, wild energy that turns a simple baseball game into something way more fun.*

  • The One Motorcycle Show takes over Zidell Yards with custom bikes, art, music, and a whole lot of attitude. It’s loud, a little gritty, and packed with people who care way too much about motorcycles in the best way.*

  • Skamania Sip & Stroll is back! Grab a glass and roam Stevenson’s local shops, restaurants, and craft makers as beer, wine, mead, and whiskey are poured. May 16, noon–5. Live music, sales, and small-town chaos (the good kind).*

  • Heavy metal band Black Label Society with Zak Sabbath and Dark Chapel at Hayden Homes Amphitheater on October 2.

  • Ian Sweet makes dreamy bedroom pop that you won’t want to miss. Catch them at Polaris Hall this November to hear their upcoming album, Silverstruck.

PORTLAND BOOKSTORES TO SUPPORT

Indie Bookstore Day is your reminder that Portland’s best reads don’t come from an algorithm. They come from tiny shops, stacked shelves, and staff picks that actually hit. Go buy a book, wander a little, and support the spots keeping this city smart.
