FESTIVAL FAQs

Where will Circle V Portland 2025 take place?
Circle V Portland 2025 will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at Castaway located at 1900 NW 18th Ave, Portland, OR 97209. We will be in the indoor space and outdoor courtyard. A portion of the courtyard has a tent with open sides. 

What does my festival ticket include?

Why are there two ticketing times available?
Like last year, Circle V Portland is split into two tasting sessions (12pm-2:30pm and 3pm-5:30pm) to create the best overall experience for guests and vendors. There are only 300 tickets per tasting session (venue capacity is 900). Each tasting session is 2.5 hours — 30 minutes longer than last year to give you extra time to enjoy everything!

Will there be vegan and gluten-free options?
All food and drinks are vegan. Some dishes may be gluten-free, but we are unable to guarantee a gluten-free version of every item. Dish descriptions will be announced in late August.

Do I have to be 21+ to attend this event?
This event is 18+. Attendees must present a valid ID at the door to receive a 21+ wristband. Beverage producers will not serve alcoholic beverages to anyone without a 21+ wristband. We will have plenty of beverage offerings available for folks who don't drink alcohol.
