Whether you’re ready to celebrate with Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day festivities, dive into food, wine, and music festivals, or simply enjoy the longer, sunnier days, there’s something for everyone this month. Lace up for a run, browse for vintage gems, or indulge in the best flavors the Portland metro area has to offer.
