July 28, 2025

Summer is going strong, but that also means we’re halfway through the year, AKA Christmas time.

The Charlie Brown Christmas Tour brings Vince Guaraldi’s iconic jazz to life at Keller Auditorium this December. For warm fuzzies, live music, and just enough holiday nostalgia, use code SNOOPY through July 31.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Rose City Comic Con returns to the Oregon Convention Center September 5-7! Let your fandom flag fly and meet some of your FAVORITE stars like cast members from The Goonies and Battlestar Galactica! Get your badges today.*

  • The Portland punks who make your nose hairs dance are hitting the stage again. Think spastic hardcore, art freak energy, and a frontman who moves like a caffeinated goblin. Don’t miss Nasalrod at Polaris Hall on September 5.

  • Tei Shi makes music for when you’re dancing and dissociating. Witness velvet vocals, bilingual bops, and synths that feel like floating at Mississippi Studios on November 23.

  • Jenn Wasner’s solo project Flock of Dimes is back with layered synths, haunted harmonies, and melodies that sneak up and wreck you gently. Get tickets for December 2 at Mississippi Studios.

SUMMER FESTS, FAIRS, AND MARKETS

Summer’s not slowing down, and neither are the fests. From the big, bold chaos of the Oregon State Fair to pit-slinging mayhem at Northwest Hardcore Fest, there’s a party for every flavor of you. Dig into global eats at FoodieLand Expo, go full country at the Oregon Jamboree, or wander through weird little markets you’ll definitely pretend you “just stumbled upon.” It’s all happening!
