From our sponsors at Groupon:
Portland Beer Day
Thursday, July 28
www.groupon.com/Portland

On July 28th, in honor of the Oregon Brewers Festival, Groupon is dedicating the Portland, OR page of their website to deals that spotlight Portland’s brewing community.

Groupon will be featuring Portland’s best breweries, restaurants, and beer bars while creating awareness and raising funds for the Glen Hay Falconer Brewing Scholarship. Groupon will donate $1 for each Groupon sold on July 28, 2011 up to $2,000 toward the scholarship fund.

The Glen Hay Falconer Foundation is a non-profit organization created to commemorate and celebrate the life, interests, and good works of Glen Hay, a well-loved and leading Northwest brewer. The mission of the Foundation is to contribute to the Northwest craft brewing community by providing opportunities for professional and aspiring brewers to further their knowledge and expertise. The Foundation is also Read the rest of this entry »

This weekend, over 1,o00 of the bravest and boldest Portlanders will ford the Willamette River in inner tubes, rafts and assorted other river-worthy vessels to raise money for Willamette Riverkeepers. The inaugural Big Float is meant to reclaim the cleaned-up city river as a suitable place for water activities (and not just a dumping ground for nastiness).

According to the city’s Bureau of Environmental Services, the river is fine for swimming as long as no combined sewer overflows (aka poop in the river) occur, and this happens only during heavy rainfall. With sunny weather predicted for this weekend, you should feel safe to grab your floaties and swim in Portland’s urban river.

GAME 19: Portland Timbers (6W-9L-3T) vs Columbus Crew (7W-6L-7T)
Saturday, July 23, 5:00 p.m. FOX12
Previous match-up(s): 5/21/11 1-0 Timbers Win
More Portland Timbers Coverage 

With a win last Saturday against Chicago, the Timbers finally put an end to their losing streak and gained their first victory on the road. With the two teams’ first match up in Major League Soccer being decided by an Eric Brunner header from a free kick, the Crew will certainly be looking for revenge against the Timbers. Columbus is noted for their excellent home record and will be a much stiffer road test than struggling Chicago.

The line-up that the Timbers will field tonight is perhaps the most uncertain Read the rest of this entry »

Ed Benedict Community Park, SE Powell Boulevard at SE 102nd
More info: http://epoxpo.org/

Largest multicultural event in Portland
Free entry and activities

The Multicultural Share Fair is a celebration of the incredible diversity of East Portland. It also helps to make the East Portland Exposition, the largest multicultural event in the City of Portland (and possibly the entire state of Oregon!)

This year, the Multicultural Share Fair will be co-hosted by Colored Pencils Art and Culture Council. It has been moved to the main stage area and will be the sole focus of live entertainment for the event and includes both traditional and contemporary performances. In addition, there are six ‘villages’ with each focusing on a different cultural group. Activities within each village are designed and staffed by the village host and may include interactive activities for the entire family as well as educational offerings.
