Portland, Oregon
A Hidden World. Right Here.
Portland is home to one of the most remarkable concentrations of independent music manufacturers anywhere in the world. Effects pedals used on stages in Tokyo. Synthesizers in studios across Europe. Microphones built a few miles from here, capturing records you’ve heard a thousand times.
Most people have no idea this community exists. Music Craft NW is changing that.
On October 24, the people behind these instruments, these tools, these sounds open their doors. You’ll meet the engineers, the craftspeople, and the entrepreneurs who design and build Oregon’s most quietly world-class export.
Built Here. Heard Everywhere.
See It. Hear It. Play It. Own It.
This isn’t a trade show behind glass. Every exhibitor is here to put their work in your hands. Talk directly to the engineers and craftspeople behind the gear — and own something extraordinary if it moves you.
