We like the Crafty Wonderland phenomenon in Portland. It outgrew the Doug Fir Lounge monthly and now has a 2-3 times a year instantiation at the Oregon Convention Center. It's free, though parking in the area is not. Go by train! www.craftywonderland.com at the Oregon Convention Center 11AM-6PM Free
St Johns used to get no respect. Now it's got indy cred. They have a street fair, parade and music today. They have dubbed it the St Johns Bizarre. www.stjohnsbizarre.com 10AM-7PM Free
