Voodoo Doughnut
There's nothing quite like this standing-room-only, downtown hole-in-the-wall (pun intended). It bakes up creative, sickly sweet treats – go for the surprisingly good bacon maple bar or the 'voodoo doll' (shaped like a…well, yes). Also at 1501 NE Davis.

Vaux Swifts
Every September, tens of thousands of these little birdies roost in Chapman Elementary School's old brick chimney. Seeing them spiral down in their multitudes, right at sunset, is an unforgettable sight.

Trek in the Park
Are you a Star Trek fan visiting Portland on a weekend in July? Then you must not miss Trek in the Park, which features a local theater company putting on a famous Star Trek episode from the original series. It's well-done and hilarious; go early to score a good seat.

Pdx Adult Soapbox Derby
Great spectator fun, where homemade, non-motorized vehicles (from Mr Potato Head models to aerodynamic speedsters) swoosh down Mt Tabor's sinewy road, driven by costumed contestants.

Mill Ends Park
Having the largest park (Forest Park) within city limits perhaps isn't an oddity, but having the smallest one might be. Mills End Park – located on the median strip at SW Naito Parkway and Taylor St – is a circle of green 24in in diameter (it's the reputed home to leprechauns).
