Portland Fermentation Festival
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Celebrate the pickling season and talk to fellow fermenters, exchange cultures and recipes, get advice from local food fermentation enthusiasts, attend fermentation demos and sample everything from sour pickles, miso and natto to cheeses, long-fermented bread, hard cider and kombucha.
Bring kimchi, try kimchi. Bring miso, try miso. Come out for Portland's fermented food and drink skill-sharing, recipe-sharing and tasting event of the year.
The Portland Fermentation Festival is and always has been a non-commercial event. Once you purchase your ticket and enter the festival, you will not be sold to. The wide array of food and drink ferments are not for sale; they are available to sample. The mission of the festival has always been firmly rooted in no sales. The one-night, annual event fosters learning, connecting, communicating and celebrating fermentation with one another. Transactional interactions often get in the way of that.
