Fleet Week
It's the start of Fleet Week in Portland, and that means about 10 massive ships from the US Navy, US Coast Guard, and the Royal Canadian Navy, along with some old historic ships, will be floating down the Willamette River before scores of uniformed sailors invade the city. Grab a camera and head to Tom McCall Waterfront Park for the always-fun spectacle. DOUG BROWN

Kaki King, Glockabelle
The illustrious Kaki King is known for crafting transfixing guitar compositions that are intensely evocative. In her latest, 2015's experimental The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body, King positions nimble guitar work at the center of expansive and oddly mesmerizing orchestras while exploring the multiplicity of her instrument's personalities.
