Oregon Zoo, 4001 SW Canyon Road, 503-226-1561, oregonzoo.org/zootoberfest. GO: WeirdfestPortland’s deep devotion to all (or most) things weird and wonderful can be fully evidenced at Weird Portland United’s annual Weirdfest. This year, guests can expect a wholly weird and diverse slate of avant-garde performances, bizarre and unconventional art, freaky workshops and lectures, weird live music to do weird live dances to and, of course, all manner of weird characters prowling for weird pics.
