Faux Film Festival
On hiatus for 2016.
Every year, on the weekend closest to April Fools’ Day, Portland’s Faux Film Festival highlights the finest in fake film. That means three days of side-splitting counterfeit commercials, phony movie trailers, mockumentaries and all forms of satire and spoof at the historic Hollywood Theatre.
Soul’d Out Music Festival
The annual Soul’d Out Music Festival draws a diverse range of acts, from 2013 headliner Prince to Questlove, Mos Def, Diana Krall and many other internationally regarded performers. The 10-day festival packs some of the city’s best venues, including the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Doug Fir, Wonder Ballroom, Alhambra Theatre and Holocene.
