Welcome to February! We may still be deep in the "Big Dark," but this month’s calendar is proof that hibernation is overrated. We are looking at a packed four weeks featuring the Portland Winter Light Festival, the return of the Cascade Festival of African Films, and a busy roster of Lunar New Year celebrations.

It’s also a massive month for makers and foodies. We’ve tracked down dozens of opportunities to learn something new — from drywall repair and sushi making to pruning workshops and birding field trips, plus dozens of cooking classes (some are FREE!). Whether you are looking for a crowded festival or a quiet crafting session, here is everything happening in and around town this month.

Have an event you’d like featured?
