Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made
In 1982, three 11-year-olds in Mississippi decided to remake Raiders of the Lost Ark. And over the course of seven summers, they recruited friends and made props to painstakingly recreate each shot (and each life-defying stunt). Tonight, their amazingly enjoyable Raiders screens at the Hollywood—and so does the new documentary Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made, showing just how they did it. It'll be fun and heartwarming, and two of those former 11-year-olds will be in attendance. ERIK HENRIKSEN

The Court of I, Anonymous
The Mercury's I, Anonymous column is famous for publishing anonymous rants and confessions from our readers. But the Bridgetown Comedy Festival's "The Court of I, Anonymous," takes it one step further! Host Bri Pruett will read the wildest, uncensored I, Anonymous submissions, which will then be judged by our hilarious jury, Greg Behrendt, Clare O'Kane, and Curtis Cook. Watch some of the funniest people alive judge the most awful people, all for your enjoyment! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

Starlight Parade
Forget the underwhelming Grand Floral Parade—the best parade in Portland is the Starlight Parade, which features more than 100 illuminated floats, marching bands, and wonderment on a 2.25-mile route AT NIGHT. And this year's grand marshal is... the Portland Police Bureau? Errrr... kind of poor timing, but whatever! The parade is still great! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Kickoff at the North Park Blocks, 8:30 pm, FREE, all ages
Crafty Wonderland Spring Art + Craft Market
Crafty Wonderland has been a Portland institution since 2006. Let's keep showing the love to the huge homemade marketplace for our city's plethora of makers and doers. This time around, there'll be more than 225 vendors selling adorable, needful wares, plus adoptable kitties, a cat rapper, DIY canvas totes, and goodie bags for early birds. Fun! COURTNEY FERGUSON

Islands, Honus Honus
Islands pulled a Human Touch/Lucky Town last month by releasing two brand-new albums: the electro-gloss of Taste, and the rawer, rockier Should I Remain Here at Sea? Taken together, they show the wide range of Islands bandleader Nick Thorburn's pop acumen, which will be on full display at tonight's show. NED LANNAMANN

Yo, Is This Racist?
Any city in the country could stand to check in on its racist tendencies (unconscious or otherwise), but lily-white Portland's probably near the top of the pile. So amid the comedy carnival that is Bridgetown Comedy Fest, stop in on Andrew Ti's thoughtful, interesting, and funny Yo, Is This Racist? live podcast taping, and have your pressing racism questions answered.
