32nd Annual The Bite of Oregon

Returning to Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park from August 7-9 is The Bite of Oregon. Now in its 32nd year, this is the largest culinary event in the state and annually draws more than 50,000 attendees that descend to Portland’s Waterfront Park to take in the bounty from our great state of Oregon.

The Bite of Oregon is an event for the entire family as there are many different choices for food, drink, music and even a kid’s area. Advance Tickets are only $5 and all proceeds generated from the Bite of Oregon directly benefit Special Olympics Oregon.

“Plates for the People,” is a new food series in 2015 where event attendees will have the opportunity to sample more than 40 specially crafted plates from each of the participating restaurants for $5 and under. “Plates for the People” will give attendees the opportunity to sample multiple dishes before they commit to a main dish or get too full—a food festival-goers worst nightmare.

The Bite of Oregon also welcomes back the popular “Oregon Bounty Chef’s Table,” where ACF Pro Chefs of Oregon partner with Oregon’s various agriculture commissions to prepare locally‐sourced, gourmet bites for only $5. This year, the Chef’s table will feature the Oregon Blackberry and Raspberry Commission, Oregon Potato Commission, Oregon Blueberry Commission, Seafood Oregon Commission, Oregon Dairy Commission, Oregon Sweet Cherry Commission and the Oregon Beef Council.

The Dining Out in the NW Chef’s Stage presented by Food Services of America is where all of the appetizing competitions and demonstrations are cooked up. Each year, leading chefs and mixologists from around the state compete for the traditional (and fiercely‐coveted) titles of Oregon’s Iron Chef (presented by NW Natural) and Iron Mixologist

Whether your drink of choice is a craft beer, a glass of world‐class Pinot, a crisp hard cider, a locally‐distilled spirit, or a freshly squeezed juice, the Bite offers ample liquid assets from the state’s biggest and best producers. SE Wine Collective, a unique, multifaceted urban winery in Portland, returns as the official host of the Wine Bar. In addition, more than 25 breweries, wineries, cideries, and distilleries from around the state will pour delicious craft beverages to help quench thirsts and tantalize palates.
