Upcoming repair-related events for the month of August 2019.
In August, there will be ample opportunity for the repair-minded in Portland and beyond to get their hands on some tools, or get some tools on their broken things, or all of the above! With three free repairing events, two repair-focused volunteer parties, and many different repairing classes available, there’s something for everyone to get into this month. See our full rundown of repair events below, and visit our Events page for more details specific to each event.
