We made it through Monday, but we must continue to persevere. Hopefully, you have something fun on the docket this week! Maybe the Survivor watch party at Jackie’s?

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Defining members of pop-punk, don’t miss Screeching Weasel at NOVA PDX in May.

• Hunx and His Punx are back doing what they do best: loud, filthy garage rock that feels like it was written in the bathroom of a dive bar at 2 a.m. Catch the glam-trash legends when they roll through Mississippi Studios.

• Avant-techno shapeshifter Matthew Dear has spent two decades making electronic music that sounds like it crawled out of a dark warehouse. Hear it live on June 11.

• Country royalty meets raspy-voiced rock legend. Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge are teaming up for a double-bill at Hayden Homes Amphitheater on July 23.

• Michigan jamgrass crew Greensky Bluegrass brings lightning-fast picking and huge singalong hooks to Crystal Ballroom in August.

WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES

Portland runs on small businesses with big personalities — and a lot of them are proudly women-owned. From cozy neighborhood cafés and killer bakeries to vintage shops, bookstores, salons, and bars, women across the city are building spaces that feel creative, welcoming, and deeply Portland.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Registration for the PDX Soapbox Derby is officially open, which means it’s time to start plotting your gravity-powered masterpiece. Teams have until April 15 to sign up, build something ridiculous (or brilliant), and send it flying down Mt. Tabor this summer.

• Powell’s has returned to the Portland Airport. I know what you’re thinking, wasn’t it already there? Well, they have now upgraded from the small corner next to security to an actual storefront!
