Okayyyy, who else is trying to squeeze every last bit out of summer?! 🙋🏼♀️
If you’re sitting there wondering what the heck to do this weekend, I did some digging for you! There’s actually SO much happening around Oregon + SW Washington — whether you want a little day trip, something with the kiddos, a date idea, or just an excuse to get out of the house. 🤍
📍 PORTLAND
🏃 Hood to Coast — You already know this one! Teams make their way from Mt. Hood all the way to the coast. One of the biggest relay races in the WORLD!
🌱 VegFest — Free samples, chef demos & all things plant-based.
🌸 Dahlia Festival — Almost 50 acres of dahlias with 375+ varieties. If you need an excuse for cute pictures… here it is.
🎬 Free Outdoor Movies — Movies under the stars AND free popcorn. Say less.
🦁 Zoo Nights — Oregon Zoo after hours with live music, food carts, activities & animals at twilight.
📍 VANCOUVER
🏃 First Responders Relay — Marathon, half marathon, relay & 5K through some of Vancouver’s coolest historic areas.
🥕 Vancouver Farmers Market — 100+ vendors, fresh produce, flowers, food, handmade goodies AND it’s pet friendly. 🐶
🌊 THE COAST
🚐 Rigs & Reggae — Vans, reggae, chill vibes & community. Honestly sounds like a whole vibe 😂
🛍️ Artisan Faire — Local Oregon vendors, handmade goods, crafts & unique finds.
🌲 CENTRAL OREGON
🎨 Art in the High Desert — A beautiful outdoor art show featuring artists and tons of unique work.
☕ Sunriver Saturday Market — Local makers, artwork, food, candles, coffee mugs & more.
And if your weekend plans involve absolutely NOT leaving the couch 😂 I didn't forget about you:
📺 WHAT PEOPLE ARE STREAMING
🍿 Furious — Hulu
🍿 Reacher — Prime
🍿 Lanterns — HBO Max
There you have it! A little something for everybody. 🤍
What are we doing this weekend?! I'm personally voting for anything involving flowers, food, or the coast. 😂🌸🌊
Save this for later + send it to the person who always says “I don't know, what do YOU wanna do?” 😜
