Public-facing businesses (retailers, restaurants, galleries, event venues, etc.) are best positioned to benefit from the Staycation campaign. This is an opportunity to invite visitors and locals to experience new events and attractions, discover unique shopping opportunities throughout Portland, and savor the flavors from our culinary creatives. 

Businesses near the Winter Light Festival anchor sites are most likely to benefit from the campaign. So the campaign is prioritizing businesses, events, and attractions located in Central City (Including Downtown, Old Town, and Central Eastside).

Retailers experienced a modest sales bump, if any at all, BUT they enjoyed the benefits of the increased exposure, especially during a slower time of year.

We strongly encourage all partners to participate in both weekends. If you have a special circumstance that should be considered, please let us know.
