Portland is buzzing with a lineup of exhilarating events that promise to make this June unforgettable for locals and visitors alike.
Kicking off the festivities is the ‘DANCE: The Tumblr Party’ at the Holocene on Wednesday, June 11th.
If you’re eager to step back into the magic of 2014, this party is a must-attend, allowing you to revel in nostalgia while dancing to tracks by Ke$ha, Lana Del Rey, The 1975, and many more.
With local DJs @hairyboyfriend, @sammyboiyuh, and @plus_________us spinning the tunes from 9 pm to 1 am, the dress code of “hahahaha” sets the tone for a fun-filled night.
The entry fee is $18.87 for those aged 21 and up, and the Holocene is located at 1001 SE Morrison St.
For those interested in something quirky and chic, the Freak Du Chic Drag Show at the Hostel Cafe on Friday, June 13th is the perfect blend of glam and spookiness.
This unique event, themed as Summerween, will feature popular drag performances from talents such as Cochina Concha, Giggles Golightly, and Chakra Stone, among others.
Attendees can indulge in a full, made-from-scratch dinner menu while enjoying local beverages.
The show runs from 6:30 to 9 pm, and tickets are available for $20 at 1810 NW Glisan St.

Friday, June 13th will also witness the return of the ‘Ally of the Year Pageant’ at Funhouse Lounge from 10 to 11:30 pm.
