Throughout the entire month of October 2026, we’re uniting artists, designers, makers, and creators across all industry sectors for exhibitions, tours, performances, and other collaborative programming. Join us! Most events are free and open to all. Some listed events may require tickets (see listings for details). Some events do not have dates yet so stay tuned!
We want you to be part of the Fest. You can add your own event at your own location, work with ADX to host your event with us, and inquire about participating in an existing event. We are building this fest together!
Creatives are the economic engine for Portland. Let’s party about it!
