Help us kick off the 10th Anniversary of the St. Johns Bizarre with a fundraiser to support your favorite neighborhood festival! We hope you’ll join us Friday, February 19th, 2016 at Occidental Brewing Co (6635 N Baltimore Ave, Portland, OR 97203) – from 6:00 – 10:00 PM.

Enter to win raffle baskets, purchase past year merchandise, drink beer, listen to live music,  eat BBQ from Dub’s St. Johns (veggie options too!) be the first to see the unveiling of this year’s St Johns Bizarre cup artwork.

And did we mention Erotic City will be performing? Sean Jordan, one of our favorite Portland comedians (Winner of Willamette Weeks, ‘Funniest Five Comics’ in 2014) will be MC’ing the evening’s festivities.

Can’t miss fun for a good cause right in St. Johns. See you there!

There will be a $15 cover charge. Ages 21+

The 10th Annual St. Johns Bizarre is now accepting vendor applications! Please take a look at dates, details and other helpful information. We seek to create a balanced offering of vendors that appeals to the entire community.

Last year, the Bizarre welcomed over 80 local vendors, selling an impressive array of handmade art and craft items, including jewelry and clothing, home goods, photography, and painting. Also featured each year are a number of food vendors, as well as booths featuring local community organizations.

Here it is, folks — the music lineup for the Plaza Stage.

We are pretty excited about seeing these bands with the majestic St. Johns Bridge as their backdrop and look forward to rubbing elbows with all of you in the front row. And remember the entire event, including all of the music is *entirely free*, so please join us on Saturday May 9th!

We are bursting with excitement to share with you a preview of our artwork for this year’s St. Johns Bizarre! The masterful creators over at Jolby & Friends are at the helm this year and have crafted some absolutely beautiful artwork that truly captures the spirit of the Bizarre and this wonderful neighborhood of St. Johns. We’ve long admired their work, whether it’s the detailed Brunch Box branding, the fabulous children’s book “Monsters Under Bridges” (featuring our own St. Johns Bridge!), or their recent redesign of the Hopworks Urban Brewery beer line.

More to come soon!
