This Memorial Day weekend, head to Oaks Park for some good, old-fashioned fun at the Multnomah County Fair.
The annual fair has been entertaining Portlanders since 1906. Traditionally an event for locals to exhibit many farming and homesteading techniques, fairs have expanded to showcase food, entertainment, crafters, artists and more.
This year’s event features competitive exhibits, music and stage performances, a car show, pioneer village, and animal competitions. You’ll also see a wide range of entertainment and exhibits representing different nationalities.
Here are the details about the 2023 fair.
