The Portland World Naked Bike Ride will not happen in 2024. This week, organizers announced their decision to take a year off, explaining that leadership recruitment fell behind schedule this year. “Making the protest safe and accessible is a huge undertaking, months in the making,” the statement reads. “We hold the event to a high standard, with comprehensive volunteer organization, neighborhood outreach, and coordination with agencies like TriMet and Portland Parks & Recreation. Our history has also shown us how a little more planning can make the protest even more welcoming, with local artists, musicians, medics, bike mechanics, and other community partners all on hand.”

Wake up, bestie, a new LGBTQ+ venue has dropped just in time for Pride Month. Badlands Portland Like List has opened in the long-vacant SW Broadway space that formerly belonged to Embers.

Portland Arts & Lectures has announced its 2024-25 season Remind Like List of talks with celebrated authors, including Amy Tan Remind Like List , Abraham Verghese Remind Like List , Timothy Egan Remind Like List , Masha Gessen Remind Like List , and Emily Wilson Remind Like List .

Portland is getting a world-class skateboard competition: This August, the inaugural Rockstar Energy Open Remind Like List will bring pro and street skateboarders to Tom McCall Waterfront Park where they will compete in site-specific courses. The free event will also feature live music and art installations.

Artists Repertory Theatre has announced its 2024/25 season Remind Like List of “homegrown and Portland-made” productions, which will include Lava Alapai’s The Event! Remind Like List and Diane Burbano’s Sapience Remind Like List . 

Kacey Musgraves has replaced Brandi Carlile as the Sunday headliner in this year’s FairWell Festival Remind Like List , which will be held July 19–21 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond.
