PORTLAND:
THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEENTOWN
It’s no “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” or “Night of the Living Dead,” but once in the 1990s, the peaceful waterfront city of St. Helens was overrun by something worse than zombies or headless horsemen — a Hollywood movie crew! The result? A 1998 romp titled “Halloweentown,” still beloved by nostalgic movie fans of all stripes. Now, every October the lovely Oregon town northwest of Portland transforms into a Halloween haven.
PORTLAND RETRO GAMING EXPO
Get ready, set, go and embrace a blast from the past at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, one of the world’s largest conventions celebrating classic video and arcade games. This vibrant weekend-long gathering at the Oregon Convention Center is jam-packed with a diverse presentation of events like panels, historical exhibits and tournaments that invite attendees — from the adults who played the games as kids to the kids of today — to delight in the artistry and significance of video games in popular culture.

ELSEWHERE

This inaugural event is an immersive expression of our larger dream: to build a late-night teahouse, movement studio, and collective hub for healing and creativity in Bend. While we hold the vision for this future brick-and-mortar space, let’s gather ELSEWHERE to nourish ourselves and one another, to reimagine community, and to plant seeds for Bend’s creative and wellness legacy.
