Treadway Events provided full-service event planning and site operations for Panda Fest’s first Portland, Oregon event at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, supporting a national Asian food and culture festival from the operations side—not as the event owner.
PRODUCTION PARTNER FOR A NATIONAL FESTIVAL IN PORTLAND
From September 11–13, 2026, Panda Fest occupied Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon, for its first Portland event—a three-day celebration of Asian food and culture that drew 30,000 attendees. Treadway Events provided full-service event planning and site operations, including stage booking, venue site operations, tent and furniture rentals, site planning, measuring, layouts, and waste management.
Panda Fest needed a full-service local planning and site-operations partner who could help deliver a multi-day waterfront festival for the event’s first Portland edition, without taking over the festival’s national brand, programming, or ownership. The work had to support a large outdoor footprint at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
National festivals succeed in a new city when local production is precise, collaborative, and invisible to the guest. The job was to make the Portland edition run cleanly—site, operations, and show execution—so the festival’s own identity and programming could take center stage.
