Michael Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour" is coming to the Lane Event Center at the Lane County Fairgrounds.

See Monday Calendar.
Flamenco Vivo with Carlota Santana performs "Bailes de Ida Y Vuelta" at the Hult Center. Dance Magazine described Santana as "the Keeper of the Flamenco," and The Philadelphia Inquirer said it's a show of "graceful, sensuous dance, expressing a host of raw human emotions — evocative of loneliness, pride, passion and joy." See Friday Calendar.|
Thirty-five Cambodian-American youth from Portland perform traditional dances as part of Celebrate Cambodia! cultural night at Spencer Butte Middle School. The event features a Cambodian dinner, an auction, crafts sale, fashion show and more to raise money to educate children in Cambodia. See Saturday Calendar. |
