For Quiet
Contemplation
TUCKED INTO THE quiet, ter-
raced greenery of the West Hills
lies one of Portland’s most serene
spaces, the newly expanded
Portland Japanese Garden
(611 SW Kingston Ave.;
japanesegarden.org). Built in
1967 as a place of contemplation
— and as a healing connection
with Japan — the garden is
home to bubbling pools, meticu-
lously clipped shrubbery, placid
koi ponds and an expansive
courtyard (complete with a
teahouse, Kabuki theater and
art space) designed by Japanese
architect Kengo Kuma.
Even closer to downtown
Portland, Lan Su Chinese
Garden (239 NW Everett St.;
lansugarden.org) is a true oasis
amid the city’s hustle and bustle.
It was built mostly in Suzhou
(Portland’s sister city in China)
before making its way Stateside
in 1999, where it was finished by
65 Chinese artisans. The classic
Chinese architecture, pavilions,
a two-story teahouse and intri-
cately carved bridges surround-
ing a tranquil pond provide a
welcome escape in any season. 

Nicknamed the “City of Roses” for its long love affair with the flower dating back to the mid-1800s, Portland offers plenty of
places to catch roses in bloom. The country’s oldest public rose test garden, the International Rose Test Garden (400 SW
Rose Kingston Ave.) attracts visitors from around the world with more than 10,000 plants of 610 varieties. Meanwhile, the city’s
City oldest public rose garden awaits at Peninsula Park (700 N Rosa Parks Way); inspired by the traditional French strolling
garden with a fountain at its center, the North Portland park boasts 5,000 beautiful blooms.

has been transformed with miles
of trails, a pump track and a bike

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION
Latinx DJ collective Noche Libre stages radical dance
parties in Portland.
BY TIARA DARNELL
FROM CUMBIA TO quebraditas, reggaeton
to lit remixes and rock en español, Latinx DJ
collective Noche Libre knows how to get a
party started.
Co-founded by writer (and Travel Portland
contributor) Emilly Prado, Y La Bamba’s Luz
Mendoza and She Shreds magazine founder
Fabi Reyna, the collective began as a one-off
affair featuring women and nonbinary Latinx
DJs. Two years later, Noche Libre is now eight
DJs deep, and their crowds — mostly women
and queer people of color — have grown sub-
stantially, as has their programming.  Libre on Instagram (@nochelibrepdx) or Face-
“No two DJs play the same type of music,”
says Jené Etheridge, aka DJ Black Daria.
DJ Xolotl and
DJ Mami Miami
“One thing we have in common is we’re
immigrants ourselves, or we’re kids of
immigrants, and we grew up listening to a
style of music that you don’t hear that often
anywhere — not on the radio and not at
clubs here in Portland. We’re all playing stuff
we wish we heard.”
Visitors can catch the collective every third
Thursday of the month at Dig A Pony (736
SE Grand Ave.; digaponyportland.com) or at
semi-regular brunch or day “pari” pop-ups at
hotels and clubs across the city. Follow Noche

PEDAL POWER
Every June, a DIY bike festival
offers dozens of rides all around
Portland.

F
ounded in 2002, monthlong
bike festival Pedalpalooza
(shift2bikes.org/pedalpalooza)
remains a quintessential Port-
land event. This June, hop on a bike-share
or rental bike (or bring your own!) and
join these flagship rides:
The family-friendly Kickoff Ride gently
guides participants through major Port-
land streets. Expect a slower pace and a
big turnout for this daytime outing.
Pedalpalooza’s largest event, the World
Naked Bike Ride (pdxwnbr.org) leads
more than 10,000 cyclists through Port-
land, all decked out in body paint, glitter
or — you guessed it — nothing at all.
As the name suggests, Loud and Lit
encourages bright, loud and flashy cos-
tumes. The late-night ride typically ends
in a dance party or outdoor hangout.
Once a month, from May to September,
Sunday Parkways (travelportland.com/
sunday-parkways) closes streets to cars
so families can enjoy a loop of Portland’s
best parks and greenways. Stop along the
way to enjoy snacks, Zumba, circus acts
and even a Shakespearean play during the
Pedalpalooza (June) edition of this local
tradition.

KARAOKE KLUB
“America’s greatest karaoke night”
has a new home in Portland.
BY E M I L LY P R A D O

JOHN BROPHY WAS 17 when he snuck

into a bar and took to the karaoke mic for the
first time. But as his love for karaoke quickly
deepened, the songbook selections couldn’t
keep up. Tired of getting stuck singing Top
40, Brophy created his own alternative
karaoke night: the now-iconic Baby Ketten
Karaoke.
More than 12 tuneful years later, Brophy
has opened his first brick-and-mortar loca-
tion, Baby Ketten Klub. Brophy describes the
setting as “adult Chuck E. Cheese,” complete
with a public main stage, dance floor, arcade
games and two private karaoke booths
decked out in ’70s and ’80s décor.
So, what makes Baby Ketten special?
(Well, besides being dubbed “America’s
greatest karaoke night” by The New York
Times?) Brophy points to two factors:
rare tracks and a robust community. He
continues to add new songs weekly and —
perhaps more importantly — remove the
club’s top 50 charting hits, so that no track
feels overplayed. While the club is still
new, Brophy hopes that patrons feel right
at home: “I wanted the place to feel like it’s
always been here.” 2433 SE Powell Blvd.;

A visit to the Columbia River Gorge will
leave you with tales of daring (and beer
to tell them over).
CHASING
WATERFALLS
There are more than 70
breathtaking waterfalls
nestled in the Columbia
River Gorge (hood-gorge.
com). Start along the
Wahkeena Trail, a wind-
ing forest loop that weaves
past Fairy Falls to Wah-
keena Falls, a triple-tier
waterfall plunging down
the mountainside and
under a stone bridge that
sits close enough to feel
the spray. Only a few miles
farther east sits Horsetail
Falls, a 176-foot (54 m)
deluge marking the start
of the trail to Ponytail
Falls, which spits out over
an eroded lava cavern you
can walk through.
For a car-free
getaway, hop aboard
the Columbia Gorge
Express (888.246.6420;
columbiagorgeexpress.
com), which runs from
Portland’s Gateway Transit
Center to several prized

FUN
Hood River is the wind-
surfing capital of the
world, and Big Winds
(207 Front St., Hood
River; bigwinds.com) has
been teaching people to
windsurf for more than 33
years. Their instructors
offer lessons for
novices and pros alike,
plus gear rental and safety
equipment. If handling a
sail feels overwhelming
(or if there’s no wind), try
paddling a kayak or stand-
up paddleboard. Enjoy the
calm waters of The Hook,
a protected bay, or test
your mettle with an 8-mile
(13 km) downwind river
