Sometimes Portland’s Last Thursday event isn’t enough for Alberta Street, so they put on their an annual street fair. To fight the possibility of rain, they moved it up last year from September to August and this year’s fest takes place this Saturday. Alberta Street will be shut down and there will be three music stages between NE 10th and 30th. They also need day-of volunteers if interested in helping out.

10th St – 30th St | Portland, Oregon
Website: albertamainst.org

Come one, come all.

Alberta Street Fair is only days away and there promises to be something for everyone!

Entertainment: The stage line up is so phenomenal this year, it's hard to highlight just a few so be sure to check out the website (albertamainst.org) for the full line up. And figure out how you are going to be in more than one place at the same time!

At the East End Stage (@NE 30th) pianist Chuck Michaelson will be playing at 1:15PM. Chuck has opened for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and legendary Texas bluesman Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown. As a soloist he plays classical music, blues, jazz, and original compositions.

Fronted by native Malian Ibrahim Kelly they combine Malian roots with a Pan African fusion of Jazz, Afro Beat, Blues, and Funk.

From our sponsors at the Pineapple Classic 5k:
Pineapple Classic 5k Obstacle Course Race
Saturday, August 13th
Pat's Acres Racing Complex | Canby, Oregon

Learn more: www.pineappleclassic5k.org
Stay updated: www.facebook.com/portlandpineapple

The inaugural Pineapple Classic 5k Obstacle Course Race is in 2 days and we want you to be a part of it! Can you think of a better way to spend a sunny Oregon summer morning than at the Pineapple Classic? A morning outside munching on cinnamon rolls as you wait to pick up your packet, climbing and laughing over obstacles and sharing a beer with your teammates at the luau? We think not!

The 3.1 mile course will be filled with 17 obstacles, some challenging and some just for fun - did we mention the limbo? In case that sounds too easy, your team will receive a fresh pineapple at the start line and MUST have a piece of it to cross the finish line. Throwing the pineapple over an obstacle to a team member, trying to balance it on your head as you run or crawling with it is allowed!

The post-race luau will feature a FREE Hawaiian lunch, FREE Pyramid beer, music and fun. From the luau area you will be able to watch fellow participants stumble, crawl and slide through obstacles. Slide? Yes, the final obstacle will be a 30 foot water slide to cool you off after the ¬Å“grueling¬Â workout you just had.

Day of registration is $60 and will be open from 9:00 – 10:30. Mention PDX Pipeline during registration and save $5!
