List of participating breweries: oregonbeer.org/zwickelmania

With more than 55 breweries participating in Zwickelmania, Oregon's statewide brewery open-house and tour, the task may seem daunting. But the Oregon Brewers Guild has all the info you'll need to make sure your day is Zwickelicious… including the details on designated drivers.

"As Oregonians, we're fortunate to have so many great breweries open throughout the year, but Zwickelmania is special.

Gregory Vajda's Dvorak

Tickets: 503-228-1353 | www.orsymphony.org/gregory

Duevoe, a nine-minute work composed by Oregon Symphony Resident Conductor Gregory Vajda, will make the concerts a memorable occasion for the orchestra. It marks the first time the Oregon Symphony has ever performed a composition by Vajda, who's been the orchestra's resident conductor since 2005. Vajda, a native of Hungary, describes Duevoe as an effort "to capture the strong power, the real spirit of … Hungarian-Gypsy instrumental music. … One Hungarian critic called the piece ‘a kind of Hungarian blues,' which I find very true."

From press release:
Bicycle Film Festival
Friday, February 25 – Saturday, February 26

To purchase tickets and see a full list of events, please visit www.bicyclefilmfestival.com.

The Bicycle Film Festival is an arts and cultural event that celebrates the bicycle. The festival brings together many creative communities, including fashion, music and art, as well as various bicycling communities, road racing, cyclocross, fixed gear, BMX, and bike polo over a shared passion for bike riding.

In 2001, Founding Director Brendt Barbur was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival after being hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City. Instead of being deterred by this experience, it inspired him to create a festival that celebrates the bicycle through music, art, and film.

Now in its tenth year the festival is held worldwide. Film Screenings in Portland will be held Friday and Saturday at Clinton Street Theater, 2522 Southeast Clinton Street. After parties nightly! Free bicycle valet parking will be provided at the screenings.
