The Portland Night Market showcases many unique and diverse businesses that call Portland home. Blending food, culture, music, drinks, and retail together for an adventurous evening on the Central East Side, it's a good chance to meet some of Portland's best makers and creators! The Portland Night Market is a free event open to all ages.
Here is the official page for the event.
Pictures and Videos from Past Portland Night Market
The Japanese Green Tea Company now regularly holds booths at Portland Night Market.
We are very excited to have been selected as one of the lucky vendors to sell our products at the Portland Night Market.
It’s one of my favorite events, and it only happens a few times a year. It is pretty competitive to have a booth, so we were lucky to be selected this time.
Here are some photos and videos from the past.
Preparing for the Event
Similar to what we did at the World Tea Expo this year, I did a Facebook Live session while setting up to give you some insight into what it feels like to be there when we are setting up for the event. Here are some of the comments I received during the Facebook Live session.
Here are some photos from when we were preparing for the event.
This is how the booth looked before we setup.
I thought it was a lot of fun to show you what it the booth looked like before and after. Here is a picture comparing the booth/market before and during the event.
More pictures of the floor prior to the event.
Here is where we started to setup the booth.
Trust me, it is a lot of work to setup the booth because there are lots of moving parts to fit into a small space, especially since we wanted to make sure that we used the best water for tea and all the right gadgets to be setup to serve.
..and here is how our booth looked after the setup!
and this is me!
During the Event
Here are pictures we took during the event. You can see that people were lined up to get into the event.
Look at all these people! It really was a fun event, and it reminds me of my hometown, Tokyo. : )
Here are people at our booth trying our tea samples.
The Event Surprise
Before the event, I mentioned that we would be doing something surprising at this event, just as we do at every event.
The surprise was that we served Matcha A La Mode, otherwise known as matcha with ice cream!
We showed everyone who passed by how to make Matcha A La Mode, and the people who stopped at our booth got to try our Award-winning Matcha with Häagen-Dazs Ice cream. As you know, our matcha won the Global Tea Championship this year.
Did you miss it? If so, we made a video on how to make this yummy treat. Click on the link here or click on the thumbnail below to watch a 1-minute video of how to do it yourself.
Thank you for Stopping By At Our Booth!
Thank you very much to everyone who stopped by our booth. We enjoyed seeing you all and hope to see you soon! : )
