Whats my west coast destination?

Starting from Portland, what giant seminal or small amazing event could I travel to in early August by bus or car somewhere near the west coast of the USA?

Flying in for a wedding on the 6th-8th, then will have 4-5 days to kill (need to fly back east the 13th). I could fly out of a different city entirely so anything I could get to in a day or two that is awesome is what I'm looking for. It looks like I'm going to miss a cool music festival in portland that weekend, and Outside Lands in SF the next weekend, but sometime between those two there's got to be a crazy celebration, art exhibit, log-rolling ceremony, or whatever other exotic thing you pacific folks get into.

I'll be writing a travel article about it so special emphasis on "something that would be fun to illustrate with photos and write about".

Sorry no Canada, my passport expired. All other places on the coast or inland considered.

Thanks very much.

Bolinas, north of SF, is kind of an event unto itself.
