Dumpling Week – Now through February 5^th

Every February, Portland celebrates its love for dough-wrapped delights with Dumpling Week, a citywide celebration, sponsored by Travel Portland, featuring inventive dumpling creations that you won’t find anywhere (or anytime) else. Participating restaurants will serve up special dumplings not available on their regular menus, with each plate going for $12 or less, for dining in, take-out and/or delivery.

Winter Light Festival – Now through February 12^th

Every year, the Portland Winter Light Festival transforms the City of Roses into a city of lights. Designed to bring light to the wintry darkness, this free festival returns every winter with imaginative works that combine light and technology to create interactive experiences. This year the festival will be featured in a pop-up-like format where light art installations will appear all throughout the city instead of a centralized location. For maps of installation locations, visit the Portland Winter Light Festival’s website.
