Free Events in Portland: August 28–30 (Highlights Edition)
August 27th, 2009
Thank you for your congratulations and kind words regarding the birth of my first child.
Originally, I had planned to go dark for a while, but it’s hard to stay away from Around the Sun and all of you great readers. Therefore, I’ve decided that I will continue to post free weekend events over the next month, but in a different format.
Through September, I will post more of a “highlights” list containing the big events, as well as others that sound interesting.
For this weekend, August 28–30:
- Festa Italiana, August 28 and 29, Pioneer Courthouse Square
- Fall.ART.Live, August 29, Oregon Ballet Theatre Studios
- Free admission to the Portland Art Museum, August 28, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm only
- Oregon Holocaust Memorial Anniversary Celebration, August 30
- Write Around Portland summer anthology release party and community reading, August 28, First United Methodist Church
- Woofstock, August 29, Mary S. Young Park in West Linn
- Meet-and-greet with Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the “Twilight” movie, August 29, Jantzen Beach Super Center
Also, be sure to check out our lists of free concerts and movies, as well as the links on our Free Events page.
If you know of any other free events happening this weekend, please write a comment about it. I will review and accept comments around mid-day on Friday.
Have a great weekend!

Well, here’s another event that everyone might be interested in. It’s a discussion on a topic we can all relate to – Healthcare. See event listed below.
Take Back the Fight for Healthcare!
What kind of grassroots change do we need to see real health care reform? Obama and the Democratic led congress have tried to distance themselves from a single payer or public option. The far right tries to shut down public discussion on healthcare and organized the ground troops to push their extremist anti-immigrant and anti-women’s reproductive rights ideologies. Claudia Krenz of Single Payer Action and long time social justice activist will present at this round table discussion on the fight for healthcare for all.
Thursday, September 10th @ 6:30pm
Bread & Roses Center
819 N. Killingsworth St., Portland, OR
(1/2 block west of N. Albina; Tri-met lines #4 and #72)
A light meal, with a vegan option, will be available at 6:15pm for a $5-$8 donation. For more information, call 503-240-44662 or email rwpdx@igc.org.
Hope you can join us,
