Oct 28-Oct 29: Weekday Washington County Events! 🍁

Hello, Washington County! 🎉

I have been SO excited about Wildwood and absolutely obsessed with the crows scattered around Portland to celebrate the movie’s release. I drove over to Portland the other day to track down some crows, and had the best time. They are so beautiful and creative and an amazing celebration of local artists. They’ll be around through the end of October if you want to do your own crow search! I made a reel of my adventure that you can see here.

Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.

✅ means it’s a free event to attend. If you’re enjoying a free event, show some love by supporting the venue by purchasing food, drinks, or goods!
