As if there's not enough going on in our neck of the woods, there's a couple upcoming music fests in Portland too. July 24-26 is the sixth annual PDX Pop Now!, a free, all-ages fest set to include Portland-centric performers Menomena, Shaky Hands, Thrones, the Mint Chicks, Laura Gibson, and many more.
