NestFest is anchored around the release of Willamette Week’s annual Nester Magazine, which profiles Portlanders in their homes and offers design resources for folks taking root in the metro area. We publish 22,000 copies each September that distribute in home goods stores all over Portland.

Below you can see some photos from Nester profiles over the last few years.

Our event, NestFest brings the publication to life by gathering the local designers, makers, small businesses featured in the magazine to the event, as well as Portland residents who are defining Portland’s unique “nesting” style.
