Portland Design Month 2025

Portland Design Month 2025

OCTOBER 3 - 24

Portland is a mix of some seriously weird goodness, resulting in groundbreaking art, music, and creative expression across every medium.

As a city, we’re continually redefining ourselves, and that’s what makes us great. We’re proud of our quirks, our shadows, and our charm — so let’s celebrate them!

Whether you're a designer, artist, professional, or student, it’s your time to get connected and get inspired with our community.

Community Champion Sponsor

Portland Design Month 2025 is powered in part by the generous support of our Community Champion sponsor, Adobe. Their partnership helps us bring bold ideas, inspiring events, and the creative spirit of Portland to life.
