First Thursday

  • Northeast Fremont Street Portland, OR United States (map)

First Thursdays is a lively monthly community event held from 4–8 PM, May through September. During this time, local businesses stay open later, creating a vibrant evening atmosphere filled with pop-up shops, special sales, and interactive experiences. Visitors can enjoy free art activities like sidewalk chalk, explore an art walk featuring local creatives, and sample wine at participating locations. The event also includes a rotating lineup of food trucks and a fun pub crawl centered around art and wine, making it a perfect way to connect with the community, support local businesses, and enjoy a festive night out.
