Daily Email - Monday - 11/3/2025

The 20-foot-tall skeletons have left the shelves, and the Christmas ornaments have taken their place. We’re diving headfirst into the holiday season with a fresh giveaway!

Scandinavian culture takes over Portland during ScanFair this December at the Oregon Convention Center. Enter to win tickets for the 41st annual Old World Nordic Christmas Market.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Daniel Tosh is back, and he’s still allergic to being nice. His stand-up hits like a roast no one asked for but secretly wanted. Get tickets for his January show at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

  • Equal parts Texas grit and poet’s heart, Hayes Carll masters that sweet spot between rowdy and reflective. Don’t miss him at Aladdin Theater in February.

  • Grateful Shred is delivering guaranteed good times during their February show at Revolution Hall.

  • Sam Harris is bringing his brain (and probably some controversy) to Portland this March. Truth & Consequence dives into politics, consciousness, free will, and whatever else breaks your group chat.

  • Rainbow Kitten Surprise sounds like a southern gospel choir got lost in a dream-pop fever. Witness the beautiful breakdown next summer at Edgefield.

WHERE TO DRINK TEA

From moody matcha dens to cozy corners pouring rare oolongs, Portland’s tea scene is steeped in vibes. We rounded up the best spots to sip, snack, and pretend you’re the main character in a rainy indie film.

🎤 Lael Neale
