Festivals & Paradesnerdconventioncommunityfree
The Northwest Black Experience in Real Life (BLERD) Convention takes over Washington Hall in the Central District on Saturday, August 22, bringing together Black nerds, creators, and fans for panels, vendors, and community. It's free, which means you can actually show up without committing your entire weekend budget to a convention pass. The 1908 venue itself is worth the trip—a historic gathering spot that's seen everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Duke Ellington walk its stage.Venue
