For the fifth straight year, NoFest has transformed St. Johns from a 'hood best known as "Wait, That's Portland?" into a day-and-night-long orgy of artistic expression featuring a dozen venues showcasing everything from graffiti displays and comedy to visual art, mini movie fests, and live music, including sets by rockers Mongoloid Village and The Incredible Kid, who really just had to be not-Mongoloid to stand out in that village.
