Alberta Arts District
A street in the northeast district full of murals, independent shops, and restaurants, a place to experience 'Keep Portland Weird.'
NE Alberta Street is about 20 blocks long, lined with colorful murals, galleries, thrift stores, handmade ice cream shops (the original Salt & Straw store is here), and small restaurants from around the world. From May to September, the street is closed on the last Thursday evening of each month for the Last Thursday art night, when street performers, handmade stalls, and live music gather. Nearby is the McMenamins Kennedy School, an old school converted into a hotel and cinema. Admission is free, and it is reachable by Bus 72.
