Street Fairs and Festivals

Looking for something great to do in Portland?

The following is a list of the street fairs and festivals in Portland that are happening this summer. As a native Oregonian, this to me is what makes Portland, Portland! The added bonus of this is that these events are all free. There are usually great vendors, tasty food and awesome music. Take advantage of attending one of these events in your neighborhood. Better yet, be adventuresome and visit one in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
