We changed our clocks ahead an hour, we’re starting to notice more plants and animals. March Madness is back, baseball gloves are being pulled out of the closet, Easter eggs are ready to be dyed. You’re even dodging those pesky potholes that seem to have shown up overnight. We’re open for fun in the trees. These are all surely signs that it’s spring.
We’re always looking for fun ways that we can spend some more time outdoors. Are you ready for some things to do in Portland outdoors and to say goodbye to this colder weather?
We’ve got a list to help you out!
Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest (March 23 – April 30) Enjoy some fresh air, sunshine, and of course the tulips! There’s 40 acres for you to explore. Bring a picnic, take a hay ride, visit the tasting room, tulip market, and more!
Rose City Salsa & Timba Festival (March 29-April 1) A weekend full of dance! Get out on the dance floor, and learn some new moves. There’s a beginner bootcamp as well as specialized classes, so there’s something for everyone.
World’s Largest Pillow Fight (April 1) Did you know St Paul, Minnesota currently holds the record for the world’s largest pillow fight? Let’s do something about that. Bring your friends and your pillow!
Pancakes and Booze Art Show (April 13) Portland’s premier underground art show. This is not your typical art show: your favorite local artists, photographers, and bands will be there! Plus a free pancake bar? Yes, please.
