Here is a sampling of the neat things that the vendors who will be at PICNIC Music + Arts Festival have been known to sell. PICNIC is my very favorite Portland Summer event that I never get to go to. Last year I got married on the day it took place and this year I will be away on vacation in Eastport. Eastport is all of the awesome and everything, but I am bummed that I will be missing the music, the art, and the opportunity to check out the vendors’ wares.

My wife Jaime put this list together, and it represents a lot of the sorts of odds and ends that are typically on display at the festival. Most of these items are likely to be there, but they are pulled from the Etsy pages / online shops of various vendors and some are one-of-a-kind items so don’t hold me to it. Also, you can buy most of these items online so while you should DEFINITELY make it to the event, if you can’t, you can shop from home.

There will be A LOT OF STUFF there, and we only displayed a sampling because we only highlighted stuff that we are into. AND some of the stuff we were into had difficult to navigate or non-existent web presences and so they were foregone accordingly because it takes a lot of time to put one of these together as it is. You can check out the full vendor list here.

The price ranges are all over the place. I made two similar lists late last year for the Picnic Holiday sale, one of cool stuff and another of affordable cool stuff, and you can check those out as well. There is some overlap between those lists and this one, but not much. As I suggested, some of these items are one-of-a-kind and so what is listed here is no longer available, definitely check out the shop-owners’ other wares as there is a bunch of cool stuff out there.

Enjoy!
