Dumpling Week 2026 in Portland

It’s back! Dumpling Week 2026 arrives this Sunday, February 15. After Salad Week (natch), Dumpling Week is my favorite food week in Portland (we keep a list of the others over in our Portland Food and Drink Festivals page). This year, over 40 restaurants are participating in Dumpling Week.

Observable Changes to Dumpling Week 2026 Promotion

This year, Dumpling Week website boasts that this is its 12th year, having started in 2014 as a project by The Oregonian—specifically, it was born of an idea by their critic, Michael Russell. “What started off in 2014 as a collaboration with a handful of small restaurants has blossomed to an annual tradition that drives foot traffic, supports locally owned businesses and ultimately reinforces Portland’s unshakeable reputation as a city with a top-notch food scene.”

But I’ve been looking at the Dumpling Week website and there’s not much about the involvement of The Oregonian this year. It’s billed as “An Independent Event in Portland, OR” and sponsored by Downtown Portland AKA Downtown Portland Clean & Safe District; Rad Color Lab, a creative studio from Max Radi; and Over Easy, another creative studio founded by Max Radi and Brandon Morayo (with Stephanie Shalz as Studio Director).

On the Over Easy website, they have a page dedicated to Dumpling Week (NB: it’s written for a B2B audience), which references The Oregonian as owner. But Over Easy “leads the creative direction for Dumpling Week” now, handling all the nitty gritty work that comes with putting together a food week.

Dumpling restaurants are also grouped into Supporters and Participators this year.

An Update!

Big thanks to the aforementioned Max Radi for reaching out to give me more info on the organization of this event. Turns out he’s been involved with Dumpling Week since the beginning. “I previously worked at The Oregonian, where I helped launch Dumpling Week alongside Michael Russell and team. I have been involved in running the event ever since.”

Dumpling Week has been a passion project for him and he’s thrilled to continue to help guide it. “I love this event and love what it means to folks who participate every year,” he said. “I also understand how meaningful it is for the restaurants to have a fun way to attract both new and returning customers during a challenging time of year.”

Thank you, Max, for all your hard work over the past dozen years.

What I Want When It Comes To Dumpling Week 2026

There are solid editorial reasons for arranging the participating Dumpling Week restaurants alphabetically, but I think that’s most helpful when you are looking for a specific restaurant. However, I love seeing where the participants are located geographically, so I like to group the restaurants by quadrant.

Essentially, are you looking to explore the options around you, or are you looking to head to some place specifically? Both vantage points are valid.

It’s All About the Quadrants

Here is Dumpling Week arranged geographically by quadrant.

Northeast | North | Southeast
Northwest | Southwest | South
Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Vancouver

Fun fact: As I started typing out what dumplings look particularly enticing, I realized it was a fool’s errand. That said, if I had to choose one it would be the Maultaschen at Stammtisch because I’ve been wanting to taste this regional dish for a while.
