Portland is about to host one of the most unique cultural celebrations of the summer. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, Fuji to Hood returns with an immersive experience that brings Japanese and Oregon craft, cuisine, and community together in one vibrant setting.

Held at The Redd on Salmon, this biennial festival connects two regions through a shared love of food, drink, art, and human connection. The event is back in Portland for the first time since 2024 and promises its largest and most dynamic lineup yet.

At the heart of Fuji to Hood is its signature collaboration series featuring 25 breweries and cideries from Japan partnering with Oregon makers. Each team creates a one-of-a-kind beverage infused with ingredients sourced from Japan, resulting in inventive combinations like matcha IPAs, yuzu-infused lagers, and miso-inspired brews. Alongside the collaboration drinks, guests can enjoy wine, saké, whiskey, and craft cocktails from standout producers and local favorites.

Beyond the drinks, the festival expands into a full sensory experience. A curated lineup of food vendors will serve everything from authentic ramen and sushi to Japanese pastries, shaved ice, and plant-based comfort dishes. The marketplace will feature local artists, craftspeople, and specialty vendors showcasing work inspired by Japanese tradition and contemporary design.

Live performances bring even more energy to the day, including Taiko drumming, Kendo and Judo demonstrations, and Sumo wrestling exhibitions. This blend of cultural programming creates an experience that is both entertaining and meaningful, inviting attendees to engage with traditions from both regions in a dynamic, welcoming environment.

Fuji to Hood is built on the idea that sharing food and drink can foster connection and understanding. Whether you are a craft beverage enthusiast, a foodie, or simply looking for a memorable way to spend a summer day, this event offers something truly special.
