This year, we more than DOUBLED attendance at the Weird Fest!

If you have snapshot moments to share, as well as video footage of you enjoying the Weird Fest, please upload it to our shared drive, which is linked in our bio!

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate our mission statement to keep Portland weird!

And special thanks to the volunteers who helped run the event, including Jacob Drouin, who handled our press release and contacted news outlets on our behalf.

As the saying goes, "Where there is unity, there is always victory."

Double the attendance again next year?

The setlist is out for our second stage, and you'll notice some particularly compelling side quests!

Like an interpretive dance contest at 1:50, followed by a costume contest at 2:30.

Come to the Fest looking and moving weird, and you can win some ride bracelets for it!

Following that episode, we get family friendly with the kids rave at 3:50, followed by crowning the winner of our chicken beauty contest at 4:45!

And all the time in between, check out our main Boom Box stage, peruse our curated vendors, and go on a scavenger hunt organized by PDX Hunt!

It will be a lively day full of things to do, and we hope to see you this Saturday at Oaks Park!

We're teaming up with PDX Hunt to give guests yet another side quest for their time at Weird Fest!

Riddles and clues are strewn about the festival grounds, all pointing toward the secret magic behind keeping Portland weird!

The journey is set to take place Saturday, September 19th, at Oaks Park from 1030a to 5p!

The schedule for our main stage is up! And this year, we're getting experimental with our second stage.

Portland Weird Fest is looking for off the wall solo or duo performers to take over our Sideshow Stage!

And when we say performers, we mean…surprise us.

The more you can puzzle us with how you conceived of what you're doing, THE BETTER.

The Sideshow Stage is all about quick and quirky entertainment throughout the day.

So if you've ever stopped anyone in their tracks by flabbergasting them, help us give you a stage by applying!

Note: Weird Fest is a family-friendly event, so all performances must be appropriate for all ages.

Got something weird up your sleeve?

To apply, follow the link in our bio!

Know someone weird, sleeved or not? Tag them!

What came first, the chicken, or the even prettier chicken?

On September 19th, YOU get to decide which chicken comes first in our Chicken Beauty Contest!

Just one of the many sidequests you can find yourself on at our third annual Weird Fest at Oaks Park!

More info, including how to register your chicken, linked in our bio!

Got to love an evolving trail in the Gorge!

The most recurring answer I get to where people feel the most spiritual is in nature. There's something humbling, awe-inspiring, and alive about feeling small in massive landscapes.

The Columbia River gorge is 80 miles of exactly this. It's the highest concentration of waterfalls in North America, and it's less than an hour's drive away from our equally majestic city, Portland, Oregon.

It's not normal for a city to be this intertwined with nature, is it?

Keep Portland Weird!
