Lunar New Year Celebrations

It’s the Year of the Wood Snake, and there are plenty of fun events happening this weekend, and most of them are free! Seven libraries are hosting celebrations or crafting sessions, Sellwood Community House is throwing a party, and Milwaukie Community Center is hosting their annual bash. You can also catch a free lion dance at Nong’s Khao Man Gai! Get all the deets (dates and times, locations) on our Lunar New Year calendar.

Fan Expo Portland

I’ve got teens at home who love to nerd out, so Fan Expo Portland is definitely on our radar for this weekend. Whether you’re into comic books, sci-fi, or anime, this event has something for everyone. Meet iconic celebs, geek out over merch, or level up your costume game. For the littles, they have a Kids’ Zone, immersive storytelling with Imagination Adventures, Jedi Encounters, and Way of the Wand experiences. There’s even a kids’ cosplay contest. It’s a great way to make epic memories for the whole fam! Friday-Sunday, Oregon Convention Center, $12-$38 (family passes for six start at $81).

Sunday Family Fun Day at Oak Knoll Winery

One of the most popular posts on our site is our list of kid-friendly wineries, and this weekend one is especially kid friendly: Don’t miss Sunday Family Fun Day at Oak Knoll Winery, where you can enjoy a glass of pinot without hiring a sitter. Sunday, 11 am-4 pm, Oak Knoll Winery in Hillsboro.

Forest Crafts at the Discovery Museum

Every fourth Sunday, RAD Creative hosts a craft session for ages 3+ at World Forestry Center’s Discovery Museum. Hoyt Arboretum and the Oregon Zoo are right there, too, so you could make a day of it! Sunday, 1-3 pm, World Forestry Center, included with admission of $0-$8.

Portland Vintage Market

Portland tweens and teens are way cooler than I was at that age—and if you want to earn some serious points with them, take them to the Portland Vintage Market this weekend. They’ll love finding one-of-a-kind pieces that can’t be copied, whether it’s clothing, accessories, or quirky treasures. It’s the perfect spot for them to flex their style and score some vintage gems. Admission is only $2! Saturday-Sunday, 11 am-4 pm, Pioneer Place Mall, $2.

Looking for even more events?

These activities are just a fraction of the offerings on our popular Kids Calendar. Find enough events to fill your weekend to bursting, including Studio Ghibli Film Festival at OMSI, and Kids Morning Skate at Oaks Park. If you’re up for a trip to Leavenworth, WA, their Winter Karneval can’t be topped. It’s also a great weekend for a visit to an indoor play space!

No matter how you spend your weekend, we hope it’s packed with fun, connection, and maybe a little time to breathe. You’ve earned it.
