Every partner gets fair, balanced visitor traffic.

Attendees collect stamps as they visit booths, which naturally spreads foot traffic evenly across all 15–25 partners — no booth left empty, none overwhelmed.

Step 1

Attendees get a passport

Every visitor receives a Cultural Passport at the entrance, free of charge.

Step 2

They visit your booth

Each cultural partner offers a stamp, activity, or taste that represents their tradition.

Step 3

Traffic balances naturally

The passport encourages visitors to explore every booth, not just the most visible ones.

Step 4

Everyone is seen

Smaller and larger organizations alike get meaningful, comparable engagement.

This festival exists because of organizations like yours.

A citywide stage

Reach thousands of Portlanders who came specifically to learn about cultures and traditions like yours.

Reach the next generation

Field Trip Day puts your culture directly in front of hundreds of local students in a dedicated program.

Community, not competition

The Cultural Passport System means you're not competing for visibility — every partner is set up to succeed.
