Multnomah Days

Multnomah Days in Southwest Portland’s Multnomah Village is a full day that is jam-packed with a small-town-style parade, live music, food and craft vendors.

Hawthorne Street Fair

One of Portland’s favorite streets — and the longest-running Portland street fair — the Hawthorne Street Fair pulls out all the stops with multiple music stages, beer gardens and blocks of sidewalk sales at many of the local shops that line this original “shop local” stretch.

Kenton Street Fair

For over a decade, the Kenton Street Fair has been a lively place to watch live music on multiple stages while shopping at local artisans and food vendors. Explore this great neighborhood while celebrating local makers and businesses.

September

Art in the Pearl

Technically, Art in the Pearl is a fine arts and crafts festival, but with live music, hands-on activities and food vendors, this Labor Day weekend party in the North Park Blocks of the Pearl District certainly belongs on the list of summer street fairs. Of course, it’s also easy to enjoy the Pearl District’s art offerings with the monthly First Thursday art walk.
