A celebration of Portland's finest culinary creations is set to delight enthusiasts once again. The Baker’s Dozen Fest showcases the city’s unmatched expertise in brewing beer, roasting coffee, and crafting doughnuts. This year, the festival invites visitors to savor offerings from a baker’s dozen of artisans—thirteen participants for each category. Inspired by the historical tradition of bakers adding an extra treat as a gesture of gratitude, this event offers attendees a sampling of all featured products, including exclusive coffee-infused beers. Moving to a new location at The Zed at Zoiglhaus, the fest will take place on Saturday, April 19, running from morning through early afternoon. Tickets are priced affordably, with advance purchases strongly encouraged due to the event's annual sell-out status.

This edition features a diverse lineup of breweries and roasters, spanning across various regions of Oregon. From local establishments like Lazy Days and Great Notion to newcomers such as Brewery XO collaborating with Silver Falls Brewing, every beer incorporates beans from distinct regional roasters. Participants can expect three-ounce pours of these unique brews alongside endless cups of freshly brewed coffee crafted using the same beans found in the beverages. To top it off, a selection of bakeries will provide bite-sized doughnut portions, ensuring there’s something sweet for everyone. Renowned names like Annie’s Donuts and Blue Star Donuts join the roster, presenting their signature delights.

The festival supports All Hands Raised, a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for children and youth within Multnomah County. With a focus on fostering racial equity, the organization aims to create lasting improvements in education from early childhood through career development. Through events like Baker’s Dozen Fest, communities come together not only to celebrate shared passions but also to contribute positively toward societal advancement. Visitors have ample opportunities to learn more about the event and purchase tickets via the official website or engage with organizers through social media platforms.
