3pm-9pm: Cafe Nell's End of Summer Clambake
Chef Andrew Garrett toasts Cafe Nell's second anniversary with its second-annual outdoor clambake, featuring crayfish, clams, trucked-in sand, and those infamous short shorts. Proceeds from the $50 ticket benefit Basic Rights Oregon and Q Center.


5pm-11pm: Bluehour's 10th Anniversary Street Party
Bruce Carey's Pearl stalwart Bluehour celebrates its decade of existence with a killer block party featuring PDX's very own rock diva Storm Large. The extensive menu includes four cocktail options shaken up by bartender Tommy Klus; the lengthy food list includes a whole suckling pig, seafood bar, and a "bluehour ice cream cart." Half of the $120 ticket price will benefit Mercy Corps.
