Came here on the last Sunday of April '26, with 30 minutes to spare before they closed. Got a nearby street parking. There are lots of options in terms of vintage clothing, jewelry, household items, etc. The vendors I encountered were friendly, helpful, and offered great deals ( I assume it's because they were about to close and wanted to get their stuff sold). They have food, drinks, on-site bathrooms inside the building, and many more vendors in there. Next time I'll come early to have more time to look around for cool items. read more

The Redd - Fleee market on a nice April '26 day. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have attended a few events at The Redd now and find this venue to be excellent. Sometimes it seems as though Portland has a shortage of large venues and this one certainly fills that need. Their mission is specifically to advance an equitable and restorative regional food system. So all of the events I've attended there have been on that theme (a CSA Fair, Urban Gleaners Summer Supper, etc). They also do private events like weddings. As an event attendee, the space lend itself well to a clear check-in and a good layout both indoors and outdoors. I find the interior inspiring, with very tall ceilings and a rustic/industrial vibe honoring the history of the inner SE industrial area. read more

The Redd is a great event space that we have visited for several different events. The event this week was the Gobble Up which invites you to come explore over 100 food vendors from the Pacific Northwest. My husband and I arrived early and were part of the first 100 entrants. This resulted in receiving an entry gift bag. Each bag had different products inside. The vendors covered food, drink, kitchen utensils and products so a large variety of products to explore and check out. In addition there were also food vendors and choices. This is our second time attending. The show just completed its 7th year here in Portland. Would I go again. Yes. Do I recommend it for others - well, only if you are in line behind me and I'm still in the first 100 entrants. (LOL) Now that's funny! read more

A bitchin event space in a rehabbed old industrial building. Big open layout, clean and updated with modern bathrooms and lighting and a few side rooms. You can use the parking lot for additional setups. Been to several very different events and they've all been fantastic. Lots of street parking, and I believe the lot is fenced in. read more

I've been to 2 large events here. The events were completely different themes/vibes and this venue worked well for both. The space fits a lot of tables, bars, separate food/ catering area. Street parking and the neighborhood are very sketchy after dark :( but there's a private parking lot (fenced in) read more

Very cool industrial venue. We were visiting for a conference and our social was held here. Our social had a band, food, and bar with beer and wine. The outside area had some large Jenga games and our event had the Pips Donut truck which was amazing! read more

We came here for the "Feast Family Reunion" event and really enjoyed the experience. There were many vendors offering an array of pastas, sandwiches, desserts, and beverages. It was like all-you-can-eat buffet, provided by some of the well known venders in the Portland area; such a treat! Sadly neither of us could eat very much due to the non-party life style during the pandemic... I definitely wished that I had more space in my tummy so I can sample more during the two hour festival. My favorite items were the Dungeness crab sandwich, deep fried Razor clams, and Tillamook samplers. Also there were many beverage choices such as sparkling soda/water, mixed drinks, wine, and liquor. I didn't have any alcoholic drinks since I was the designated driver, but the spread was impressive. All the booths and tables were 6 feet apart, and most people wore masks while they were not eating or drinking. Also there were many sanitation/hand-washing stations around, which was very handy. The volunteers were wearing bright yellow shirts so was easy to reach out to ask questions. There was also an indoor area where you could sit and chill. My friend I opted to sit there to avoid the hot sun. We liked the giant barn house feel of the indoor area and didn't feel like we missed out on the action. The thing that impressed me the most was actually the restrooms. They were very clean and spacious. Although they were unisex, the walls between each stall provided much needed privacy. The interesting thing was: there were mirrors inside each door. I guess they wanted to make sure that people were looking sharp before they left the stalls lol? The line of sinks were also convenient, so everyone could wash their hands without waiting in long lines. Overall, I really liked the event, and would recommend it to anyone who might be interested. read more

The Redd has a compelling story. It was started by Portlander Spencer Beebe, founder of Conservation International, president of The Nature Conservancy and founder of Ecotrust. I went to one of their early events and I will be at future events. The narrative of the space is related in a (long) talk delivered at the site, first 15 is ecophilosophy, after is the story of the space: http://creativemornings.com/talks/spencer-beebe/1. They hired a W+Ker to do ethnographic research in the neighborhood. Ethnographers researching a project should be done more. Redd consists of two buildings The Foundry and The Marble. The Foundry, originally a foundry, is a raw warehouse with a high clerestory, a bridge crane (I want my space with one) and with a giant press right in the middle of it. The Redd Foundry has been host to large art and tech events seeking a raw space, like XOXO and PICA:TBA. All the electricity has to be run on a temporary basis for the event, there is no heat, lighting must be brought in and the bathrooms are porta potties. Ultimately it is being restored into a center for food manufacturing of local artisan products as explained on the website. If you are a food maker - baker, meats, vegetable-based foods needing shared cooler space, kitchens, prep and delivery logistics, talk to them! The Marble is a newer space with clean office areas, restrooms, heat, and warehouse that housed Intrepid, a stone distributor. His other project, the Ecotrust Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center, was the first LEED Gold certified restoration of an historic building, 100 years old. The updates to the Foundry will also be designed for LEED certification. If your event needs a raw industrial-style warehouse for 1000+ and can flex with their limited facilities today, and even better, if your brand meshes with theirs, you can discuss with Ecotrust event rentals. read more

Pretty cool venue! The unisex bathrooms were kind of strange but the look and feel of the place was pretty elegant! There is quite a history to this place dating back many decades! Def would recommend read more

We cannot rave enough about our experience at the Redd. It was the perfect venue for our 300 person wedding ceremony & reception. The flow was seamless for multiple cocktail hours, live bands, chef demo, and a dance party. The green machine was the perfect backdrop for our industrial engineering chic celebration. Kaley was an excellent resource for event concepts and she is an expert in the best use of the 20,000 square feet. Thank you for providing us the space for our best day EVER! read more
