A Festive Heart

See a performance at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, an entertainment venue that's considered to be one of the best in the nation. The PCPA is comprised of three buildings, and the stages of these buildings host a variety of productions, from concerts to dance performances, Broadway shows and symphony events and much more. The venue keeps a busy schedule so there's sure to be something going on that suits your interest.

From a dinner cruise with a magic show to a brunch cruise and even a wedding cruise, Portland Spirit Cruises hosts a variety of tour options aboard one of their seafaring vessels. Take your pick: yacht, jet boat, sternwheeler – they're all ready to take you on an excursion over the waters of the Willamette and the Columbia to see the beautiful sights of the city, in a fun and unique way.

Get crazy at Portland's only dueling piano bar. The Barrel Room Rockin' ShowBar features food, drinks and music – a few of a nightlife lover's favorite things. You'll also have the opportunity to pick out a couple of songs for the piano players to play so be sure you prepare your singing voice to sing along.

Hysterical improv makes its home on stage at the Brody Theater. Micetro, Antiques Improv Show, and Diabolical Experiments are some of the theater's most popular shows. The Brody Theater also hosts an open mic night for even more unscripted entertainment.
