PORTLAND:
OREGON CRAFT BEER MONTH
February is Oregon Craft Beer Month, a month-long focus on Oregon craft breweries, highlighting events, beer releases, and more. Why February? It tends to be one of the slowest sales and tourist months of the year. The goal is to help encourage folks to visit and support Oregon craft breweries across the state.
LUNAR NEW YEAR
Welcome the Year of the Dragon at Portland’s most iconic Lunar New Year celebration experience — Lantern Viewing Evenings at Lan Su. Witness the garden aglow with hanging red lanterns, illuminating sweeping rooflines while Lake Zither reflects the lights of large-scale floating lantern sculptures.
BLACK HISTORY FESTIVAL NW
For the past eighteen years, World Stage Theatre has been educating communities about the rich tapestry of the African Diaspora through the arts. As the innovators of Black History Festival NW, the organization is elated about this year’s theme. From the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement to Hip Hop and Afrofuturism, African Americans have been using art as a way to not only tell stories but use their platform to uplift the culture, shine a light on and challenge environmental issues.
BREWFEST
This milestone Brewfest can’t be contained to just one day. So, join a weekend of tasting great beer from McMenamins brewers as they vie for the title in the Battle of the Belt. Choose between two taster trays, enjoy delicious food specials and celebrate.
VANCOUVER:
MOSAIC CROCHET
Mosaic crochet is a fun way to create colorful projects with two yarn colors. The technique produces a cool geometric effect. The best thing about mosaic crochet is that it is fundamentally made with stripes of colors, meaning you can create patterns without changing colors mid-way through a row because of how the colorwork is placed.
