With three music stages, a beer garden and 300 local vendors, the  Alberta Street Fair  attracts 20,000 visitors to Northeast Portland’s Alberta Arts District. Also check out  Last Thursday  — the district’s monthly street fair.

The  Fremont Festival  celebration in this quaint Northeast Portland neighborhood features a kid and pet parade to go with the array of local food and vendors.

The  Multnomah Days  festival in Southwest Portland’s Multnomah Village is really just one day, but it’s jam-packed with a small-town-style parade, live music and food and craft vendors.

One of Portland’s favorite streets — and its longest-running street fair — the  Hawthorne Street Fair  pulls out all the stops with multiple music stages, two beer gardens and blocks of sidewalk sales at many of the more than one hundred local shops that line this original “shop local” stretch.

Technically,  Art in the Pearl  is a fine arts and crafts festival, but with live music, hands-on activities and food vendors, this Labor Day weekend party in the North Park Blocks of the Pearl District certainly belongs on the list of summer street fairs. Of course, it’s easy to enjoy the Pearl District’s art offerings with the monthly  First Thursday  art walk.
