2026 Host Hotel:
The Hyatt Centric

This year’s host hotel will be the Downtown Portland Hyatt Centric (601 SW 11th Ave)!

The Hyatt is offering a discount to any attendees staying at their hotel for the duration of our 2026 festival. If you would like the discount code for booking your room(s), please email bigfootregional@gmail.com and we will provide it!

Along with acting as our host hotel, we will also have a huge chunk of our programming in the Hyatt’s Pettygrove meeting space up on their second level. These events will consist of morning activities, open mics, workshops, themed slams, and more. Finally, one of our two preliminary slam venues, the Wanderlust Kitchen, is on the ground level of the Hyatt Centric the nights of June 25th & 26th.

As a secondary lodging option, the Portland Hostel (479 NW 18th Ave) is offering festival attendees a 10% discount code on their rooms. This location is a bit further from the heart of the festival (a 15-25 minute walk to reach any of our main venues) but may offer a more inexpensive option for folks traveling on a tighter budget! They offer an array of shared dorms and private rooms.

The code to access this discount is POETRY10.
