Of Portland’s many spring/summertime festivals, it’s hard to find a more interesting, fun-packed one than the St. Johns Bizarre. Celebrated the second weekend in May for the past 13 years, the Bizarre is a cornucopia of entertainment, crafts, and food all centered about the annual St. Johns Parade. And while you’ll be happily stuffing your smiling face with eats from St. Johns’ finest and beyond, do not miss out on the music which includes such shockingly awesome bands as Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside, Kelli Schaeffer, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs, KILEO (with Amenta Abioto), plus tons more! by Wm.
