Today
🖌️ Watercolor Workshop @ English Estate Winery | Friday (9/5) at 6:00pm – Who knew you could sip a Pinot and paint like Picasso on the same afternoon? Swing by English Estate Winery with your watercolor kit, and Nathun Finkhouse will guide you through stacked stones, blooms, and the occasional happy accident. No experience required, wine included.
🎺 The Ne Plus Ultra Jass Orchestra @ Providence Academy | Friday (9/5) at 7:00pm – If your idea of a wild Saturday night involves feather boas instead of flashing lights, wander into Providence Academy Ballroom for the Ne Plus Ultra Jass Orchestra’s Roaring 20s revival. There’s a proper dance floor, decent beer, and zero TikTok filters.
This weekend
🎤 2nd Annual Fall Street Fair @ Heritage High School | Saturday (9/6) at 9:00am – Heritage High’s parking lot morphs into a fall bazaar, with cider stands, craft wreaths, and a parade of local vendors hawking everything from artisan jam to pumpkin soap. The Heritage Choir provides the soundtrack, grab a latte and critique their harmonies with surgical precision.
💃 Swing Dance Class @ Fairway Village | Saturday (9/6) at 11:00am – This laid-back swing series teaches single-time basics and lead-follow balance, perfect for anyone who thinks their two left feet are irredeemable. Space is limited, so save your spot before Aunt Marge claims the last pair of dancing shoes.
🛍️ Kid’s Flea Market @ Kazoodles Toy Store | Saturday (9/6) at 1:00pm – Grab your mini capitalist and let them hawk old toys and crafts at this pint-sized flea market where a $10 vendor fee, or free with a book for the Little Free Library, gets them a taste of real-world business. Spots are scarce.
🏘️ GRO Parade of Homes @ The Nines at Camas Meadows | Sunday (9/7) at 10:00am – Patio-sipping season calls for a stroll through six over-the-top show homes at The Nines at Camas Meadows. Think open-air patios that make your neighbor’s barbecue look sad, lighting that rivals Instagram filters, and on-site pros happy to geek out over every faucet and finish.
🔊 Free Group Sound Journey @ The Soul Ascension Studio | Sunday (9/7) at 7:30pm – Ever feel like your chakras are playing hide-and-seek? Slip into a lush, plant-filled studio for Tracy McFarland’s sound healing session. You’ll bathe in gongs, singing bowls, tuning forks, and collective good vibes, then float home lighter than your wallet (love donations welcome).
🎸 XTC @ Alberta Rose Theatre | Sunday (9/7) at 8:00pm – Think you’ve exhausted every XTC greatest hit playlist? Newsflash, they still sound brilliant live with Terry Chambers and co smashing through Making Plans for Nigel to Senses Working Overtime, all under Partridge and Gregory’s stamp of approval. Nostalgia never felt so fresh.
Next week
🦪 79th Annual Shellfish Conference and Tradeshow | Monday (9/8) at 9:00am – This 79th annual shellfish conference and tradeshow is where locals swap oyster tips, ogle the latest aquaculture gadgets, and snag early bird pricing before August 8. Bring your sharpest net, your dullest puns, and a healthy appetite for bivalves.
💰 Free Tax Assistance @ Three Creeks Community Library | Monday (9/8) at 1:00pm – You know that moment when an IRS letter lands on your desk and suddenly déjà vu with your old shoebox receipts? Ren Locus volunteers will rescue you from number-crunching nightmares, walk you through returns, letters, or tax credit apps, and it’s completely free.
💼 Business After Hours | Tuesday (9/9) at 5:00pm – Umpqua Bank is turning our usual happy hour into a finance mixer where you can learn the secrets of financial wizardry without the awkward silence. Mingle with local business bigwigs, swap war stories, and walk away with real insights instead of just another drink coaster.
