This week
🧘 Gentle Yoga | Tuesday (9/2) at 3:00pm – If you’ve spent another week hunched over your desk, try Bonny Chipman’s gentle yoga in your living room. Stretch out tension on your couch, bed, or wherever your cat judges you. Accessible variations, guided breathing, and monthly restorative sessions offer legit stress relief.
🎲 Tween & Teen Tabletop Role-Playing Game Adventure | Tuesday (9/2) at 4:30pm – If your kid’s last TikTok was more of a marathon than a hobby, why not swap pixels for polyhedral dice? This 12-week online D&D adventure sends tweens and teens deep into the Sunless Citadel with pre-generated characters, minimal parent intervention, maximum dragon slaying.
📓 Adult Zine Workshop @ Vancouver Community Library | Thursday (9/4) at 5:00pm – Forget TikTok, this library workshop digs into the analog art of zines, shows why mini-magazines never went out of style, then arms you with scissors and glue to craft your own. No experience needed, materials provided, local street cred guaranteed.
🚗 Classic Car & Hot Rod Ride-Out: Vancouver to Long Beach @ Safeway | Friday (9/5) at 12:00pm – Ever wonder why Safeway’s lot near I-5 looks like a vintage car show? Gather your hot rod and roll from Vancouver to Long Beach for Rod Run, with enough chrome to blind passing commuters and war stories to match.
🎨 First Friday Art Walk @ Downtown Vancouver | Friday (9/5) at 1:00pm – First Friday Art Walk is elbowing its way around downtown, turning blank walls into conversation starters and giving you an excuse to wander instead of doing laundry. Expect live music, dinner specials, hands-on workshops, and creative awkwardness to keep the wine flowing and conversation interesting.
This weekend
🏆 PDX Summer Slam Tournament @ Leroy Haagen Memorial Park | Saturday (9/6) at 8:00am – Grab a teammate and hit the grass courts for a cash-prize volleyball throwdown that treats women and men equally, with winners pocketing up to a grand. It’s competitive, not cutthroat. No sandbagging, no trash talk, just good vibes and killer dives.
🎄 Fall/Christmas Card Buffet | Saturday (9/6) at 9:00am – Pop in to my card buffet and crank out Fall or Christmas greetings before the holiday circus rolls into town. Six cards for $15, then $3 each, plus snacks, coffee or tea, and a stash of goodies to shop on the side.
🎬 Movie Matinee: Minecraft Movie @ Three Creeks Community Library | Saturday (9/6) at 3:30pm – Our ol’ downtown theater is rolling out family-friendly flicks with fresh popcorn on us, so you can stop refereeing living-room showdowns. Kick back in retro seats, forget remote fights, and soak up some screen magic that even the picky teenagers won’t groan at.
🎶 Backyard Concert – Leo Moon Trio @ Backyard at the Barage | Saturday (9/6) at 7:00pm – Hit the backyard for Leo Moon Trio’s hauntingly ethereal set under the stars, no velvet rope, just a lawn, a guitar, and a sky full of expectations. Soak in moody melodies under the stars while the kids chase fireflies.
🧘 Yoga and a Pint @ Loowit Brewing Company | Sunday (9/7) at 11:00am – Unroll your mat, grab a pint, and stretch into Sunday with this chill ritual at Loowit. For $25, you’ll get a guided yoga class with Maurya and your first pint on the house—plus 10% off if you hang for lunch. Only 20 spots, so don’t sleep on this (but maybe nap after).
