Portland Weird Fest

Get ready for the biggest and weirdest celebration of Portland’s unique spirit. Portland Weird Fest returns for a full day of strange, spectacular, and unforgettable fun for all ages. Presented by Weird Portland United, the only nonprofit dedicated to all things weird in Portland, Weird Fest brings together the city’s most eccentric creators, performers, artists, and characters for one delightfully bizarre festival.

Explore more than 60 weird vendors, meet larger-than-life characters, enjoy live music and entertainment, and discover interactive experiences around every corner. Cheer on contestants in the legendary Chicken Beauty Contest, let the kids dance their hearts out at the Kids Rave, grab a drink in the Gigantic Brewing Beer Garden, and witness the debut of the Interpretive Dance Competition. From quirky contests to unexpected performances, there’s something weird waiting for everyone.

Whether you’re a longtime Portland oddball or simply curious about what makes this city so wonderfully different, Weird Fest is your chance to celebrate creativity, community, self-expression, and all things delightfully strange.
