We have lots going on this weekend. From late night arcades to festivals and fun in the parks, there’s something for everyone! All Weekend Waterfront Blues Fest It’s that time of year again! This Saturday through July 4th, get your crew down to the Tom McCall Waterfront Park for the 30th anniversary of the Waterfront Blues Fest! This festival is always a blast, and with a landmark like 30 years, it’s bound to be a real celebration.

Summer’s in full swing! Ready for endless outdoor adventures in the lushness that only the Pacific Northwest can offer? With Independence Day around the corner (if you haven’t seen fireworks on the Oregon Coast, make this year the first; I promise it’s worth it) and the total solar eclipse on August 21, and all sorts of shenanigans in between, you won’t be hearing the dreaded refrain of “I’m bored!” anytime soon.
