Go make a little trouble.
In a good way.
You know that feeling when somebody tells you about a brilliant little event on Monday and it happened Saturday? Infuriating. Here's our attempt to get the good stuff to you while you can still go.
We're a Portland-based newsroom picking interesting events across Oregon and Washington. Use the date view, weekend filter and category choices to find something worth going to. You'll find organizer links on the listings because plans, prices and weather can change.
Feeling spontaneous? Pull a mystery ticket.
One actual upcoming event. A dash of fate. Fewer group-chat negotiations. Pick a vibe and we'll draw from the calendar, not invent something that isn't happening.
Only current or upcoming listings are eligible. This is an editorial idea generator, not a reservation or live ticket-availability check.
Good plans are waiting to be found.
Pick your mood, pull a ticket, and see where curiosity sends you.
Worth circling.
These are the upcoming events we've checked and chosen to share, not everything happening everywhere.

Tell us what we’re missing.
Is somebody bringing giant puppets to a parking lot, opening a tiny neighborhood festival or making the city more interesting? Send the date, place, price if any, organizer link and why a stranger should give up their Saturday.
We choose events editorially. Sending something does not guarantee inclusion, and paying for coverage does not buy a place on this list.
