Anyone who thinks Portland's music scene is nothing but sad indie dudes and warbling ukulele players needs to spend some time at PDX Pop Now, which brings together a broad sample platter of the best local sounds—from punk to jazz, folk to hip-hop, metal to EDM—all under one bridge. The Hawthorne, to be precise. The 14th Annual PDX Pop Now! Festival returns to AudioCinema (226 SE Madison St, Portland) July 21-23, 2017 with three days of Portland bands, a street fair, record fair, Rigksetball, and local food carts! With two outdoor stages beneath the Hawhtorne Bridge, PDX Pop Now! is Portland’s only three day, free festival focused on showcasing Portland’s diverse musical talent. A non-profit organization dedicated to making music all ages and accessible, PDX Pop Now! is run entirely by volunteers, from the board members down to the bands playing the festival.

Through July 23. Free. All ages.
