The Oregon Zoo is throwing an elephant-sized party to celebrate the species that made it famous. Elephantastic, held each year on a weekend close to Packy’s birthday, takes place April 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the zoo. During this year’s festivities, the zoo will mark Packy’s 49th birthday.

Elephantastic, free with zoo admission, features a full day of activities, with games, crafts and that ever-popular fashion accessory: elephant ears. Visitors are treated to free birthday cake at noon, courtesy of Lamb’s Wilsonville Market, and kids can enter a drawing for a chance to help keepers deliver Packy’s giant birthday cake.

At 2 p.m., Packy receives his cake and everyone can join in singing the birthday song while the prestigious pachyderm chows down. The cake, baked by the zoo’s executive chef, Paul Warner, is a 40-pound whole-wheat concoction topped with frosting, apples, carrots and celery.

The fun continues through the afternoon with face painting, games, elephant-sized puzzles, crafts and a giant birthday card for Packy.

Kelly’s Olympian welcomes San Francisco rockers Foolproof Four on Saturday night. The band has this to say about their upcoming performance in Stumptown:

“After playing in Seattle the night before, we’ll be very exhausted and frustrated, since our cars will have gotten broken into and hot wired. Furthermore, with no rides, our girlfriends will have left us. Broke, dirty, and pathetic, we are left to hitchhike to Portland in order to meet you all at our next show. The only thing that can make us happy again is to see you at Kelly’s Olympian with us!”
