Portland, Oregon
From gyoza Scotch egg sandos and sour cherry dumplings to vegan ube ice cream, whatever your attendees are hungry for, Portland has it on the menu. Brimming with flavors and an ever-growing food scene, Portland is home to James Beard Award-winning restaurants, renowned chefs and more than 500 food carts.
Farm-to-table began here, and the celebration of local food continues with the new James Beard Public Market opening in summer 2026 in the heart of downtown Portland. Cheesemongers, butchers, chefs and bakers will be united in one daily market. Attendees can stop for a quick bite, grab takeout or enjoy Oregon wines and Pacific Northwest fare in the market restaurant. With rentable event space available, the market is near thousands of hotel rooms and accessible by MAX light rail.
Something is always cooking in Portland and the flavors never disappoint. Host in a destination that brings more to the table.
