*** Portland Show ***

- Location: The Red on Salmlon (831 SE Salmon St.)

- Admission: $2 advance tickets required
How do I get there?
The Redd on Salmon is located at 831 SE Salmon St. While there is ample street parking in the block surrounding the venue, we encourage you to walk, bike, or take public transit if that is an option for you to cut down on congestion in the area.
Is there parking?
If you’re able to arrive via public transit, walking, or biking, we certainly encourage you to do so; however, there will be ample and free street parking in the blocks surrounding the venue! Last year some attendees did report that parking was tough to find during the busiest hours (10am-1pm). If you’re concerned about this, we encourage you to come a little bit later in the day. Or, try using an app like Parkopedia to help out ahead of time.
Are kids allowed?
Yes! This show is all ages, and children under the age of 12 do not need their own registration ticket.
Are dogs allowed?
No, sorry!
Do I need to print my ticket?
We encourage you to save the trees and instead have it accessible on your phone as you enter. If you can have it already pulled up and waiting to be scanned, this will help us a lot in avoiding bottlenecks at the front doors.
Will there be free samples?
While vendors are not required to sample their product, many of them will be doing so. However, this is not purely a tasting event, and for this reason admission is free. Our hope is that you’ll find many great gifts for both yourself as well as friends and family during the holiday season. Please be respectful of vendors who are sampling, and of your fellow shoppers, by limiting your sampling to only what you need in order to taste and experience their product.
Do you have a lost & found?
During the event, any lost and found items will be held at the Information Booth. After the event is over, please contact the venue to inquire about any lost and found items.
How can I get involved?
Volunteering is a great way to meet new friends and see the ins and outs of craft show vending and managing. We are looking for volunteers to help with everything from set-up to vendor support, hosting the raffle booth, the UCU info booth, head counting at the door, and so much more. In exchange for volunteering your time, we give you a gift of thanks, we feed ya’ and give you our undying gratitude! Email lindsey@urbancraftuprising.com if you’re interested in joining us.
How do I become a vendor?
Applications are open to the public. We look at various components when we jury, including quality, diversity, fans’ demands, price range, etc.
As UCU has grown, our shows have become more and more competitive. We suggest reading over the Vendor FAQ fully before sending in your application. And be sure to sign up for our mailing list so you don’t miss a deadline! No applications will be accepted after the closing date.
