Discover unique gifts at PDX Pop-Up Shops

 

 

From November 15 – December 31, explore eight unique shopping locations to get the gifts for all your family and friends this holiday season. From vintage and custom clothing, to locally made hot sauce, unique textiles and ceramics plus much more.

 

 

 

For 15 years, Downtown Portland Clean & Safe has been connecting local makers and small businesses with temporary retail space through the PDX Pop-Up Shops program. This program brings new life to vacant storefronts and gives entrepreneurs a chance to test out owning a brick-and-mortar location while enhancing the vibrancy of downtown Portland.
