January in Portland is the perfect blend of cozy and cultured—fewer crowds, great energy, and plenty of reasons to get out of the house despite the drizzle.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a family outing, or just looking for something fun to look forward to, here are my January picks to kick off the year inspired and connected to our city.
