Build your Presence

Building on the success of its inaugural year in 2025, NestFest will be a two day event in 2026 (9/19 & 9/20) and offers a growing range of opportunities to engage directly with your target audience.

2025 NestFest was a tremendous success, with strong brand engagement and record participation from Portland’s design community. Over 1,500 attendees spent the weekend exploring immersive exhibits, shopping local makers, and connecting with sponsors in meaningful, hands-on ways. Our partners enjoyed exceptional visibility across print, digital, and on-site experiences—cementing NestFest as Portland’s must-attend celebration of home design and creativity.

Request Sponsorship Kit

Sponsorship in 2026 looks like:

  • Connecting with a design-obsessed Portland audience—from homeowners to the designers, builders, and makers shaping how people live

  • Convening the design/build/creative industries—creating space for designers to meet designers, builders to meet collaborators, and ideas to turn into real partnerships

  • Aligning your brand with a creativity-first, immersive event—not just advertising, but active participation in the design community

  • Positioning your company as a champion of makers, trades, and creative professionals driving Portland’s design culture forward

  • Delivering high-impact visibility across print, digital, social, and on-site experiences

  • Creating opportunities to build, not just display—through interactive installations, workshops, and hands-on activations

  • Engaging directly, face-to-face with both consumers and industry professionals—from potential clients to collaborators and peers.

From 2025 Sponsors

  • It felt like a great turnout, a friendly crowd, and I definitely sold more product than I expected to. I also felt like I introduced my shop's existence to a lot of new people, which was my primary purpose for being there.

  • A BIG THANK YOU to you and your team for having us at your event. It was truly so special to share the experience with all the lovely vendors and participants this weekend. We're beyond excited to continue telling our story and look forward to exploring more opportunities to collaborate with you and Nester magazine in the future.
