This year, 4th of July weekend looks and feels a bit different than it has in the past. The typical fireworks and family gatherings have been postponed as Portland and the rest of the country continue to have serious conversations around COVID-19, systemic racism and police brutality. Small businesses are still figuring out how to operate in this environment, and your support is crucial to ensure they can stay in business. See below for businesses that are keeping the spirit of summer alive with special promotions and events this weekend and don’t forget to wear your mask!
