SUMMARY:Irving Berlin's White Christmas at Lakewood Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Lakewood Theatre Company\, now in its 74th season\, stages the Irving Berlin musical about two song-and-dance men\, a sister act and a Vermont inn that needs rescuing. Expect the title song\, big tap numbers and a stage full of snow. Directed by Don Alder\, it runs six weeks from early November to just before Christmas at the Lakewood Center for the Arts on State Street\, close to downtown Lake Oswego's restaurants and lit-up storefronts for dinner before the curtain.

It's an early start on the list\, well before the December crowds. Tickets are $13 in advance or $14 at the door\, and kids 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.

SUMMARY:Vancouver Symphony Orchestra: Verdi's Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Verdi's Requiem is one of the most dramatic pieces in the choral repertoire\, all thunderous brass and whispered prayers\, and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra opens its November with it. The Portland Symphonic Choir joins the orchestra under Ken Selden for two performances at Skyview Concert Hall. It's a big\, emotional sing for early November and a chance to hear a full orchestra and chorus without crossing the river. Saturday is at 7 p.m.; Sunday is a 3 p.m. matinee.

SUMMARY:Hillsdale Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Southwest Portland's Sunday market\, now set up in the Rieke Elementary parking lot on SW Vermont\, runs every week until Thanksgiving before switching to a twice-a-month winter schedule. It draws a loyal crowd from Hillsdale\, Multnomah Village and the surrounding hills\, and the three Sundays before the holiday are the best chance to stock up while the full roster is still coming. Extra parking is available at the back entrance of Ida B. Wells High School next door.

SUMMARY:Ballard Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market has filled the cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW every Sunday since 2000\, and the produce comes only from Washington farms. In winter the stalls lean toward storage crops\, meat\, eggs and baked goods\, with makers' tables mixed in\, and the market runs from NW Market Street down to 20th Avenue NW. Street meters are free on Sundays\, and the online vendor map is refreshed every Friday by 5 p.m. if you're after a particular farm. Rain doesn't cancel it\, so bring a hood and make a slow morning of the avenue's cafes afterward.

SUMMARY:West Seattle Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of the Junction at California and Alaska\, West Seattle's market runs every Sunday morning through the winter\, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Think of it as a neighborhood shop more than a destination: farm produce\, meat\, eggs and bread\, with the Junction's coffee shops and bookstores a few steps away. Nov. 8 is Applelooza\, a tasting of Washington-grown apples that's a good excuse to learn a few new varieties. SNAP users can pay with an EBT card directly at select farm stands here\, and the C Line stops right at the corner.

SUMMARY:King Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The King neighborhood's Sunday market closes for the year on November 22\, so its last three Sundays are a good reason to wander over before Thanksgiving. About 30 regional farmers and food makers set up in the lot beside King Elementary at NE 7th and Wygant\, between Alberta and Prescott. It's compact and walkable\, with a neighborhood crowd rather than a tourist one. SNAP shoppers can get up to $20 matched through Double Up Food Bucks.

SUMMARY:Lents International Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Started in 2006 to bring fresh\, culturally relevant produce to one of Southeast Portland's most diverse neighborhoods\, the Lents market runs its final Sundays through November 22. Around a dozen growers and food makers set up in The ZED parking lot at SE 92nd and Reedway\, and the vendor mix changes week to week. Live music plays from 1 to 3 p.m.\, and kids can try food activities at the information booth. Small\, friendly and very much a neighborhood market.

SUMMARY:Fremont Sunday Market
DESCRIPTION:Fremont's European-style street market has run for more than 35 years\, and it doesn't take the winter off. From November on it moves under cover at the Fremont Bridge location\, which is heated\, with a second covered spot on 34th next to the market's own Sundays Coffee. Expect a mix of vintage and flea finds\, local artisans and a curbside row of food trucks that makes it a decent brunch plan. Ballard's farmers market is a two-minute drive west if you want to make a morning of both.

SUMMARY:Capitol Hill Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The Denny Way entrance to Capitol Hill Station opens straight onto this market\, which sets up on E Barbara Bailey Way between Broadway and 10th every Sunday of the year. Winter hours stay at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\, a late enough start for brunch first. Expect Washington farm produce\, meat and baked goods\, and on Nov. 15 the market hosts Applelooza\, a tasting of the wide range of apples grown around the state. Street parking is free on Sundays\, though it fills fast on the Hill.

SUMMARY:Garden Tea Tastings at Lan Su Chinese Garden
DESCRIPTION:A tea master from Lan Su's Yun Shui Teahouse pours three seasonal Chinese and Taiwanese teas for a group of no more than eight\, in one of the garden's pavilions. Over an hour you'll hear where each tea comes from\, how it's processed and brewed\, and what it means culturally\, then take home a porcelain teacup. Garden admission is included\, so plan to wander the courtyards afterward. It's a quiet\, grown-up way to spend a rainy winter afternoon in Old Town.

SUMMARY:Portland Opera: La Traviata
DESCRIPTION:Portland Opera opens its season's big stage with Verdi's La Traviata\, the story of Violetta\, a woman who chooses love and her own terms over polite society's verdict\, and pays for it. It's one of the most beloved operas ever written\, packed with tunes you'll recognize\, and an ideal first opera if you've been meaning to try one. Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage. Students get $15 seats by phone\, and Oregon Trail Card holders may qualify for $5 tickets.
