As part of a triumphant return to live, in-person PortFringe, we could not be more thrilled to be moving our festival to the vibrant, growing, and welcoming East Bayside neighborhood. East Bayside is emblematic of so much of what makes Portland such a great and cool city–it’s full of people and businesses who want to support weird art, it’s got a great vibe on every corner, and PortFringe will arguably be more walkable than ever before!
Please, while you’re here, get to know our neighbors. Buy a coffee, a beer, a local wine or hard seltzer. Visit a food truck. Visit the studios and makerspaces. Talk about what weird art you saw at PortFringe. Grab a brew with us at Belleflower while we introduce ourselves to a whole bunch of new people. Let’s continue to support the beauty of community, and welcome more and more people into it. Vive le Fringe.
