PORTLAND FRUIT TREE PROJECT CIDER FEST 2026!

Saturday, October 3 · 12–4 PM · FREE · ALL AGES

Bring apples and pears from your own trees (no windfall fruit please, nothing from the ground!)—or just bring yourself! We’ll be pressing cider from the abundance of B-grade fruit gleaned from Portland’s urban orchard and turning it into a big ol’ celebration of community. Come for the cider, stay for the toddies. Come for the tacos, stay for the brass band. Come for the kids crafts, leave with winter garden plants.

JOIN IN THE FUN!

12:30 — Red Yarn

3:00 — HONK PDX!

LaMerced taco truck
FREE take away crafts with Vegan Scouts
Skating rentals with Rose City Rollers
Crafts with SCRAP PDX
Affordable winter garden plants with The More You Grow Tea Cafe + Toddy Bar + Bake Sale with Cascadia
Wild Darning class with Repair PDX NE Tool Library open + community tours
Caesar the no drama llama plans to attend
…and more! (we love “and more!”)

Plus, we’ll be pasteurizing cider to donate to our pantry partners, making this celebration about more than just apples—it’s about sharing what we have and taking care of each other. Portland has an incredible amount of abundance growing right outside our doors. Let’s turn it into cider, art, music, food, friendship, and community!

We recently learned that the contact form on our website was not sending the responses to the board (possibly blocked by the spam filter entirely).

If you recently attempted to contact us and are still awaiting a response, many apologies! Please resubmit using our new form, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can! Or better yet, come to an upcoming meeting to chat in person/Zoom!

Please note: the King Neighborhood Association cannot directly address permit questions or police complaints. However, we’re happy to work on organizing events/meetings hosting various speakers from relevant city organizations (ex: Portland Permitting and Development).

Interested in joining the board? Have ideas for guest speakers? Requests for special talks or events? Come out and connect with your community during our September meeting. We’ll also provide updates on the Community Small Grant and the recent Emergency Preparedness Weekend hosted by the King Neighborhood Association.

Open to all community members in-person or via Zoom. Hope to see you there!
