🥁🥁🥁 A drummer tuning!!! @mrvalesmathclass

We’re thrilled to welcome Mr. Vale’s Math Class to the 11 am slot of our Family Fun Showcase, but here’s a little secret: @mrvalesmathclass is NOT a kids band. In fact, we booked them more for the grownups among us, but we won’t tell your dancing, smiling kids if you don’t! 🤫 This six-piece funk band has horns that knock down the door and percussion-laden grooves that perfectly accompany any dance party. 🪩 While you might not leave with a deeper understanding of math, you (and your little ones) are guaranteed to have a great time. Starting the day on the Plaza Stage, right at 10 am, we’ll have Mo Phillips @themophillips , a returning favorite for our littlest fans who will have them enthralled from the first note with his unique blend of oddball rock he’s dubbed Mo-Fi. What is Mo-Fi, you ask? A TERRIBLY UNSOPHISTICATED WAY TO HAVE A GREAT TIME! 🥸 And between their sets, don’t miss nationally recognized puppeteer @kcpuppetree , whose “trash” puppets not only delight with wacky characters but also show the power of reusing and recycling materials. The Bizarre — featuring two stages of FREE music, plus 220 craft and food vendors — goes from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. before, during and after the St. Johns Parade. For a full schedule, plus music samples and a list of vendors, check out the link in our bio! Special thanks to our stage sponsors: @portofportland , @onpointcu , @StormBreakerStJohns , @stjohnsinnpdx , and @iqcreditunion
