Part of Portland's charm is its Do It Yourself ethic. This weekend offers great events from two prominent underground groups, Red76 and the Handmade Bazaar. Break out your flip-flops and let the summer begin!

Red76 hosts the Little Cities Build Yr Own House Party and Barbecue. You bring the grillables and they'll provide the building supplies (cardboard, sharpies, paint, tape, etc.). Make your own miniature abode and then reconvene on Sunday for the homesteading of the Little City. It's fort building for adults!
Red76 • 916 SE 34th st. (just off Belmont)
Saturday, June 11 • 5:30 to 9pm

The Handmade Bazaar has been going strong for the past three and a half years, supporting young artisans and the handmade community. Meredith and Katie have created a tradition with these events, offering free space to local crafters of any skill level twice a year. This is a great place to find young innovators of new craft. Plus, there's always music and vegan treats. In the past it's been in their backyard, this year it moves to the Liberty Hall.
