September 19th & 20th
NestFest brings together Portland’s creative community to celebrate home design through inspiring spaces, hands-on experiences, local makers, and ideas that shape how we live.
Saturday + Sunday 12pm–5pm Art of Catering, 110 SE Taylor
Every corner of NestFest is designed to inspire. Each experience invites you to connect with the people, places, and ideas that make Portland feel like home.
NestFest is powered by Willamette Week!
Nester Come to Life
NestFest brings to life the annual launch of Nester, Willamette Week's home design magazine, bringing its pages to life through immersive experiences, inspiring conversations, interactive exhibits and local food & drink.
Join Portland's designers, makers, artists, and creative community for a weekend of inspiration, discovery, and connection.
See Home Differently
Step inside NestFest's four Signature Rooms: immersive, one-of-a-kind installations created by some of Portland's most inspiring designers, artists, and makers.
Each room reimagines what home can be through bold ideas, beautiful materials, and creative storytelling, inviting you to see home through a completely new lens.
Hands-On Experiences
Make, explore, and experiment with designers, makers, and leading brands—from color exploration and material sampling to live demonstrations and creative activities that invite you to get hands-on with new ideas, try something unexpected, and leave with fresh inspiration for your own home and creative projects.
Hear From the People Shaping How We Live
Join designers, makers, homeowners, and community leaders for talks and panel discussions exploring the ideas, stories, materials, and decisions that shape the places we call home. From thinking like a designer to preserving the past, these conversations will give you a new way to see—and shape—your own space.
Find Your People
Meet the designers, artists, makers, and creative minds shaping Portland’s design community, exchange ideas, discover new collaborators, and make meaningful connections with fellow design-minded folks.
For those working in the design trades, we’ll kick things off with a special ticketed experience created just for you—an intimate morning inside the Signature Rooms, with opportunities to meet the people behind the work and connect with your creative community before the festival opens to everyone. More details and tickets coming soon.
