Immerse yourself in the heritage of our region while engaging with over 30 pop-up exhibits and hands-on activities hosted by agencies, tribes, college students, and cultural organizations that work in heritage, history, and archaeology.

The 2026 theme is “Fire & Water,” fundamental to the human story for all times and places.

Event attendees can:

• Discover hidden Portland stories

This free, family-friendly event gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn about Oregon’s past and its connection to us today. On-site translators provided for Spanish speakers.

Explore Oregon’s past and its connections to us today through exhibits and hands-on activities created by dozens of agencies, companies, Tribes, and cultural non-profit programs.
