📢 The Portland Festival returns June 5–6, 2026 for its 52nd year, and this one is shaping up to be our biggest yet. Two days of food, music, rides, vendors, and the kind of crowd energy that makes this neighborhood feel alive. Whether you’re from Portland or just stopping in, you’re invited to jump in and enjoy the weekend.
This year we’re adding something new: a Community Stage for short performances, kid’s groups, local talent, and festival contests. If you’ve ever wanted to get onstage without filling a full set time, this is your chance! We will be posting additional details and applications soon.
More announcements are coming as the schedule locks in. Hit “Interested” or “Going” to keep up with lineups, activities, and updates.
