St. Johns Bizarre
The beloved St. Johns Bizarre returns in downtown St. Johns. (located at N. Philadelphia and N. Lombard — and all across the surrounding blocks) Serving up another a dynamite lineup of musicians, artisans, makers, creators, food vendors, community groups, and more, all ready to go — so you can sing, dance, eat, shop, and make merry ’til your heart’s delight.
The St. Johns Bizarre is a uniquely crafted FREE celebration that kicks off Portland’s summer street fair season.
Held annually on the second Saturday in May, the Bizarre brings music, crafts, and food to the crowds who traditionally attended the St. Johns Parade — along with the crowds who also now come for the Bizarre itself.
After the parade, a portion of the business district in the St. Johns is closed to traffic, and thousands of people fill the streets to sample dozens of juried craft vendors (a record 200+ last year), two stages for music, great food, a beer garden serving local libations, and tons of games and activities. It’s an amazing community event with something for everyone.
