pop-up vendor market & small business owner panel (free dinner provided)
Make friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Portland, the city's most fun community space for climate action!
We're having a party for people who care about the planet. Same time, same place, every week. You're invited. The first four Tuesdays of every month we host ticketed programming, but this is our FIFTH Tuesday, which means it's a bonus free Soapbox event! Woohoo!
Join us for a panel of local small business owners to talk about how investing in local businesses with your purchasing power creates ripple effects. Following our panel discussion, we'll be able to support these business owners directly by shopping their wares and services at a pop-up market.
The plan:
5 pm | doors open, dinner available
5:30 pm | welcome announcements
5:45 | event programming begins
5:50~6:15 pm | small business owner panel
6:15-8 pm | vendor market & mingling
Please arrive by 5:30pm so you have time to eat before the programming begins. The meal is plant-based and gluten-free.
