The dog days of summer are behind us, but summer events keep steaming along. This weekend you can party like a Viking, explore Hispanic heritage, or listen to a large selection of live music from cover bands to jazz greats. We’ve also got the opening of the Oregon State Fair and a Rose City Rollers championship derby rematch.
