Fuji to Hood: Japan/Oregon Collaboration Festival

The premier Japanese cultural festival in Oregon makes it's biennial return to Portland on July 18th 2026!

Fuji to Hood: Japan/Oregon collaboration festival was founded in Portland in 2018 to create cross-cultural bonds and lifelong friendships and takes place every other year in Tokyo. The festival partners 25 breweries and cidermakers from Oregon with 25 from Japan to create original beverages each using atleast one special ingredient from their country. In the past this has created beers made with seaweed, koji, purple potatoes, sansho pepper, kuromoji wood, matcha, yuzu citrus and much much more. 

But Fuji to Hood is much more than a drinks festival! We also host Japanese performers from DJ's to traditional dance, Taiko drummers, and Kendo martial arts. A wide range of Japanese food and drinks are featured from sushi and ramen to imported snacks, desserts, baked goods, rolls, ice cream, tea, coffee, and sake and spirits. Throughout it all are local Japanese artists and vendors setting up a pop-up marketplace with goods like woodblock prints, handmade kimono, shirts and dresses, pottery, glassware, even Japanese cutlery!

Fuji to Hood is an indoor and outdoor festival held at The Redd on Salmon events venue as an all-ages venue for culture and entertainment. The festival is FREE to enter but admission is required to indulge in the exclusively made Japanese/Oregon collaboration beverages.
