POP-UPS AND EVENTS

The Flip Side Vegan Pride Market Remind Like List
A group of scrappy vegan vendors will sell their wares at this queer POC-organized event. This month's festivities feature over 30 booths, face painting, antics from Haha the Clown, ink from Liv of Awake N Woke Tattoo, and more. While you're there, grab a gooey "cinnasnail" from Hail Snail and a crisp beverage from Arbor Beer Lodge. The nonprofit Green Acres Farm Sanctuary will also be present to talk about their work caring for rescued animals.
Arbor Beer Lodge & Brewery, 12-5 pm

Kittens + Beer: Pride Remind Like List
I'm fairly certain you need little to no convincing that this event, which entails snuggling with precious kittens and enjoying beer, cocktails, and food from Loyal Legion Beer Hall, has all the makings of an ideal afternoon. You'll get to place your name on a digital waitlist and eat and drink to your heart's content until it's your turn to cuddle with adorable baby creatures for a suggested $5 donation for five minutes—what could be better? Well, maybe the fact that the kitties will all be adoptable, so you can fill out an application if one captures your heart, and 10% of the day's beer sales will benefit Northwest Animal Companions. Volunteers will also be present to chat about the nonprofit animal rescue and its foster program. Note that feline-cuddling reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so get there early.
Loyal Legion Beaverton, 1-4 pm

Picklefest Beerfest Remind Like List
Attention Pickles fans! A new beer bat chug record has been set, and just in time for the sixth annual Picklefest Beerfest this weekend. It's a doubleheader game against the Gresham Greywolves—your ticket gets you in to see both games, but let's be real, this event is about much more than baseball. Dozens of breweries will be on hand sampling beers, and local bands will provide the soundtrack to what's forecasted to be a perfect summer day. Walker Stadium also recently started selling THC seltzers, just in case beer isn't your preferred kind of buzz. SHANNON LUBETICH
Walker Stadium, 3 pm

Queer Wine Fest 2024 Remind Like List
The LGBTQ+ community doesn't often get its due in the wine world, and that's where this annual wine festival comes in. The picturesque Willamette Valley winery Remy Wines will host 15 queer-owned wineries from across the country at this al fresco tasting and Pride celebration, featuring food from Renegade Catering, live music from the local New Wave duo Camp Crush, ice cream from Salt & Straw, and an art show with a lineup of queer artists curated by designer and illustrator Zab Shavrick.
Remy Wines Tasting Room, 4-7 pm

Carioca Bowls 9th Anniversary Party Remind Like List
The açaí cafe Carioca Bowls, which Portland Mercury arts and culture editor Suzette Smith has praised in the past, is celebrating its ninth birthday with an all-out extravaganza that features free yoga, music from Life After Jeff and Johnny Franco & Friends, and tons of specials and freebies, including $8 açai bowls, two house-made Brazilian cheese breads for $3, and complimentary Happy Mountain Kombucha with the first 300 bowl purchases. Plus, there'll be raffles and giveaways for gift cards, bomba bowls, merch, açai seed jewelry, cookies, and the grand prize—a year's worth of free Carioca Bowls.
Carioca Bowls, 9 am-4 pm

Come Thru Market Remind Like List
This anti-racist incubator market puts the spotlight on Black and Indigenous farmers, makers, and friends, joyfully supporting "BIPOC growers in taking their small business dreams to the farmers market environment." Take a stroll, peruse the stalls, and purchase wares ranging from baked goods to hot sauce to handmade pasta.
The Redd on Salmon, 3-7 PM

Portland Craft Beer Festival Remind Like List
Unlike similar craft beer events, this annual festival focuses primarily on beers brewed within the city limits of Portland, making it an excellent opportunity to avail yourself of plenty of local suds in one place. If beer isn't your thing, there's also a selection of cider, wine, and mead. This year's gathering will be held at the picturesque Elizabeth Caruthers Park, with food, live music, vendors, games, and other entertainment. Best of all, you can rest easy knowing your ticket supports a good cause: Together with its partner CaskAide, Inc., the festival has raised nearly $40,000 for local nonprofits.
Elizabeth Caruthers Park, 12-10 pm
