ScanFair, Tuba Christmas Concert, and More Cheap Easy Events Under $20 by EverOut Staff Take advantage of this fairly dry weekend by heading out to holiday happenings from the 34th Annual Tuba Christmas Concert to Portland’s Publ ic Menorah and from ScanFair to the Crafty Wonderland Holiday Art and Craft Market. Plus, take a look at our top picks guide for more ideas. FRIDAY LIVE MUSIC 11th Annual Great Figgy Pudding Caroling CompetitionA cappella groups with anywhere from three to 20 singers will spread holiday cheer in a 10-block radius from Pioneer Courthouse Square on Friday night, returning to the main stage at 7:30 pm for a final "carol-off" between the top three groups. The ensemble that receives the most audience applause will win $1,000 and some serious bragging rights at the next ugly sweater party. It's not just about musical talent; groups are judged on singing ability as well as originality, outfits, and their street presence. I recommend leaning into the holiday spirit and dressing up, whether that's in a flashing LED vest or an old-timey velvet cape and faux fur hand muff.
