No longer held. The last Feast Portland was in 2019.
There is no Feast Portland to book around, so there is no festival deadline on your dates. Book when your plans are firm, not against an event that has not run since 2019.
Feast Portland was the city's large mid-September food and drink festival. Its last event was in 2019, and in 2022 the organisers confirmed it would not return, not in 2023 and not ever again. The festival's website is no longer live. There is no Feast Portland to plan a trip around. This page covers what a September food trip to Portland actually looks like now, and where to stay for one.
Feast Portland is over. The last Feast Portland was held in 2019. In 2022 the organisers confirmed the festival would not come back, not in 2023 and not ever again. The festival's website is a dead page now. If you landed here looking for Feast Portland dates, a lineup, or tickets, there are none, and nobody is selling them.
That is the short version. The longer version is that September is still one of the better months to eat in Portland, and if you were building a food trip around Feast, the trip still works. Here is what to do with it instead.
No other festival took over the mid-September slot, and it is worth saying that plainly rather than pointing you at a substitute that does not exist. What Portland has is the thing Feast was built on top of: a dense, walkable restaurant and food cart scene that does not need a festival weekend to be worth the trip.
If you want a starting list, the two we hand guests most often are our best restaurants in Portland guide and our best food cart pods roundup. For something already sequenced, there is our Portland food itinerary. If you would rather someone else do the planning, guided walks like Forktown and Eat Adventures cover the same ground.
Narrower lists, if you know what you are after: romantic restaurants, family-friendly restaurants, and Italian restaurants.
September in Portland is usually warm and dry, which matters more here than in most cities, because a lot of the eating happens on patios and at outdoor cart pods. It is also grape harvest season in the Willamette Valley, so wine country makes sense as a day trip this time of year. Our day trips from Portland guide covers how to get out there and back.
For what is actually on the calendar during your dates, check Portland events and festivals rather than planning around an event you remember. Things change. Feast is the proof.
You are no longer optimising for proximity to a festival venue, which frees you up to stay in the neighbourhood you actually want to eat in.
SE Portland rentals put you nearest the highest concentration of restaurants and cart pods. Stay near Hawthorne-Belmont and you are walking distance from the Division, Clinton, Hawthorne and Belmont restaurant rows. For a lot of food-first guests this is the obvious pick.
Alberta is residential, walkable, and full of small independent kitchens. It usually costs less than downtown and still leaves you a short ride from the central city.
Mississippi Avenue rentals give you a compact strip of restaurants, bars and carts you can work through on foot, with frequent bus service downtown.
Pearl District rentals and NW Portland rentals, including Nob Hill, are the most central option and the easiest base if you want to spread your eating across several neighbourhoods rather than dig into one.
Book on your own schedule. There is no festival weekend driving demand in mid-September, so there is no deadline we can honestly hold over you. Book when your dates are firm.
Reservations still matter. Portland's better-known restaurants fill on Friday and Saturday nights year round. If there are two or three places you specifically want, book those before you book anything else.
Getting around. Most of the food neighbourhoods are walkable internally but spread out from each other. Bus, streetcar, bike and rideshare all work. Many of our properties include parking if you are driving in.
No. Feast Portland last ran in 2019, and in 2022 the organisers said it would not return in any year. Any site advertising Feast Portland tickets or dates is out of date or not legitimate.
It ended. The 2019 event was the last one, and the decision not to bring it back was made public in 2022. The old festival domain no longer hosts a working site.
We are not going to name one just to fill the gap. Check Portland events and festivals for what is genuinely scheduled during your dates.
SE Portland around Hawthorne-Belmont has the densest concentration of restaurants and carts within walking distance. Alberta and Mississippi Avenue are the next best walkable bases. If you want to be central to everything, look at the Pearl District.
