We’re kicking things off this Thursday with First Thursday in the Pearl District, featuring a brilliant fusion of visual art and local performance at AMP Gallery’s Open Mic Gallery Night. The weekend keeps the momentum going with the debut of the new Pearl District Farmers Market—your new Sunday go-to for fresh local finds. To top it all off, Portland Book Week is taking over the city from June 5–14 with neighborhood book crawls across our legendary indie shops. Grab your tote bags and your walking shoes; June is serving up the very best of local culture!

With summer just around the corner and the sun finally shining, it’s the perfect time to explore the Pearl District. Our latest post covers the First Thursday Artist Gallery Walk, PNCA exhibitions, the Ales and Arts Market, and Tacos N’ Tequila. Soak up the sun and the local talent!
