Sunday, safely back in grid-patterned Southeast Portland, the Hawthorne Street Fair takes place, connecting the two loops of the simultaneous Southeast Portland Sunday Parkway. The street fair runs from 11am to 5pm. Most activities occur between 34th and 41st, but there’s a music stage down on 12th behind the Shell station, and Skeleton Key Tattoo at 17th is hosting a prize drawing and face painting, and giving away coloring books for the kids – and talk to them about your next Unicorn tattoo (this is Portland after all) – August is Unicorn Special month! In the ever important beer department, BridgePort Ale House (3632 Hawthorne) us offering Happy Hour pints all day. For a full list of events and bands click here.
This is the last Sunday Parkway of the summer, so you don’t want to miss it. Heather and I walked the inaugural Sunday Parkway last summer, but for this one we’re riding our bikes (she just got a new one!). On Portland has a good summation of why the Sunday Parkways rock.
Anybody planning on going to the Sunday Parkways this weekend? David and I are going. We went to one last year and it was great, easy relaxed biking and lots to see and do.
