The Oregon Fermentation Festival brings together makers, food lovers, and curious minds to celebrate fermentation as both craft and culture. Rooted in Oregon’s rich tradition of artisan food and drink, the festival highlights the creativity and care behind fermented products.

Fermentation is more than a technique—it is a shared practice that connects people to ingredients, place, and time. From beverages to preserved foods, fermentation reflects patience, balance, and respect for natural processes. This festival creates a space where those values are explored and celebrated together.

The event showcases a diverse range of vendors and makers, each bringing their own approach to fermentation. Attendees are invited to taste, learn, and engage directly with the people behind the craft. Every conversation adds depth to the experience, turning the festival into a living exchange of knowledge.

Community is at the heart of the Oregon Fermentation Festival. It is a gathering that values inclusion, curiosity, and collaboration. Whether you are a seasoned fermenter or discovering the process for the first time, the festival welcomes everyone.

The Oregon Fermentation Festival invites you to slow down and appreciate the process behind what we eat and drink. It is a reminder that good food takes time, and meaningful experiences are best shared.
