Romancing Portland 2026

Romancing Portland is an enchanting weekend getaway for lovers of romance novels and pop culture. At Romancing, fans are cordially invited to meet their favorite authors and bookish personalities, attend thought-provoking panels, experience fun and captivating activities, and shop all things romance—all while mixing and mingling with fellow romance lovers!

The main character of Romancing Portland is you! We sincerely hope that every moment you spend with us is like something straight out of a rom-com. And while you may not experience that heart-stopping meet-cute you dream of, you’re sure to leave Romancing Portland with plenty of new book boy/girlfriends!

Another Main character is our venue—the Sentinel hotel! We believe our venue should be the beating heart of the event, which is why we’ve carefully selected one with a long, fascinating history! If the walls of the Sentinel could talk, they would never be in short supply of romantic tales.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
