Hello Minions! The Volcano has some bittersweet news to share - SHIFT Festival will be taking a break for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Tectonic (the group of volunteers who produce SHIFT) has earned some well-deserved rest, but are excited to spend time focusing on community building & engagement projects closer to home, here in Portland.
Fostering ties with our community (YOU!) remains a top priority! Things are tough out there - it feels right to nurture safety, art, and self-expression in more accessible ways during this time “off”. We are still navigating what these efforts will look like, but we have lots of ideas! Whether it be in town workshops or skillshares, supporting local events, or collaborating with existing groups, we hope to see you there! Tectonic’s Facebook and Instagram pages will continue to be the best places to get updates from our team.
In the meantime, we’d like to start by encouraging you to support our friends over at the Portland Winter Lights Festival! This year’s PDXWLF is February 6 - 14, and a number of folks involved in SHIFT will be participating - stay tuned for more details.
We are so grateful for the love and support of our community -- we’re excited to see what these next two years hold as we build new connections and strengthen the connections we share with you all... and of course we look forward to seeing you at SHIFT 2028!
Fun fact - Did you know the original SHIFT logo was designed by Milo Hayden? Go check out his work on Instagram
SHIFT is a 4-day camping festival filled with music, art, performance, theme camps, and so much more! ✨
Whether you want to dance at one of our three stages, learn a new skill at our workshops, explore the campgrounds, meander through the art field, or lounge at the beach, SHIFT has something for everyone. We hope you enjoy reliving these memories as much as we do!
