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.
In 2026, we’ll have opportunities for:
Sponsors to create memorable moments during NestFest or tap into our platforms for high-impact brand visibility across a design-engaged audience.
Brick-and-mortar shops, studios, and showrooms to host their own events during NestFest Week—bringing our audience directly into your space for talks, demonstrations, open houses, or design experiences.
Makers and artisans to showcase their craft through creative installations that highlight what’s possible when great design meets great materials.
Design professionals to step onto the NestFest stage—sharing expertise, inspiration, and ideas with a curious audience of homeowners and design enthusiasts.

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.
