It’s officially the weekend! That means we will all (hopefully) have a little bit more time to get outside and enjoy what looks to be a minimally moist day of drizzle in Portland.
Fortunately for us, there aren’t a whole lot of outdoor event venues in PDX, making our entertainment options completely safe from rainfall.
Here are our picks for the five best events happening in Portland for Saturday, March 7.
