Derek Hough Dance for the Holidays

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall1037 SW Broadway

Derek Hough Dance for the Holidays is a joyous celebration of the most festive time of the year! With jingle bells and sleigh bells, holiday carols and cheer, Hough’s latest dance spectacular is a show stopping event for the whole family. Fans will be thrilled and delighted as Hough and his cast of phenomenal dancers bring your favorite holiday tunes to life through dance, from the well sung classics to modern pop hits with all of the incredible choreography, exciting stage production and dance mastery that audiences have come to expect. Creative team and EMMY® winners, Napoleon and Tabitha Dumo, also known as NappyTabs (Jennifer Lopez’s ‘All I Have’, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, GRAMMYs®), co-create, direct and supervise choreography for the tour.

Emmy Award-winning and New York Times Best-Selling author Derek Hough started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, UT, at age 11. Just one year later, he moved to London to live and train with the top dance coaches in the world and attend the prestigious Italia Conti performing arts school where he studied theatre, music, and dance. He is a four-time Emmy Award winner and 13-time nominee, his four Emmys tie him for most in Television Academy history.

Hough is the current host of the long-running television program Extra. He has also appeared in film, television, and stage projects as an actor. He made his feature film debut for director Duane Adler and producer Robert Cort in the feature film Make Your Move and had a recurring role on the ABC series Nashville and in High School Musical The Musical for Disney+. His stage performances include Radio City Music Hall’s Spring Spectacular costarring alongside the Tony Award-winning Laura Benanti and the critically acclaimed production of Footloose in which he starred as the male lead in London's West End. In December 2016, Hough starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Martin Short and Harvey Fierstein in NBC’s Hairspray Live!

As a cast member of the ABC series Dancing with the Stars, Hough is part of the judging panel alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno. A multi-talented entertainer and the only six-time champion in franchise history, Hough had previously performed on the show as a pro-dancer. His mirror ball wins came with celebrity partners that included Brooke Burke, Jennie Garth, Ricki Lake, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Grey, Kellie Pickler, Amber Riley, Amy Purdy and Bindi Irwin.

In May of 2017, Hough joined Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo at the judges table for the NBC series World of Dance. The show, which he was part of for 4 seasons, launched as the highest rated summer show in over ten years and was unparalleled dance competition that featured solo artists competing against duos and crews in all genres of dance, including hip hop, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, and more competing for a million-dollar prize.

Hough can also add best-selling author to his list of credits. His memoir Taking the Lead; Lessons from a Life in Motion hit stands in August 2014 and rapidly was named to the prestigious New York Times Best-Seller list during two non-consecutive time periods, a rare feat.

In 2021 and 2022, Hough headlined his residency Derek Hough: No Limit in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. The critically acclaimed dance-centric show at the Venetian Resort takes Fans on a journey through a true fusion of dance and music, as Hough explores styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa, hip-hop and everything in between.

The Silver Scream Part III

Step through the torn velvet curtain and onto a cursed soundstage where every take ends in terror.

The studio lights flicker, film reels spin in reverse, and a deranged director stalks the set—eager to capture your final close‑up in glorious technicolor gore.

The camera’s rolling. Your death scene is next.

The Forbidden Fortress

Cross the shattered drawbridge—and abandon hope at the gate.

Deep inside these crumbling walls, a crown‑mad warlord rules the dark, raising an army of the damned with every scream he wrings from trespassers. Torch‑lit corridors twist like catacombs.

Legends say no soul has ever escaped intact.

Karn-Evil Apocalypse

The circus has arrived, and it’s bringing the end of the world with it!

Karn-Evil Apocalypse isn’t your average midway. We’ve ripped the circus tent down and unleashed a neon-soaked wasteland where deranged freaks dictate the rules.

Surrender your tickets and your sanity as you navigate a chaotic labyrinth of carnival games turned deadly.

The Hexed Haunted House Experience

Venture deep into the forbidden woods where ancient, malevolent magic has firmly taken root. This immersive outdoor attraction plunges you into a realm governed by dark spellcasters and demonic entities.

Once the hex is cast, the forest will do everything in its power to keep you permanently bound to its cursed soil.

Hellevator Survival

Going down? Hellevator Survival plunges you into the suffocating depths of a compromised subterranean medical facility. Fight your way through flickering, claustrophobic corridors crawling with rogue experiments and stitched-together atrocities.

When the heavy steel doors finally force themselves open, you’ll wish they had stayed completely shut.

Grimthorne’s Revenge

Step across the rotting threshold of a condemned estate where a centuries-old blood feud is still claiming fresh victims. Grimthorne’s Revenge is a relentless pursuit through suffocating darkness and disorienting architecture.

As you navigate the labyrinthine corridors, the temperature plummets and the walls physically close in around you.

Hangman’s Crossing

The frontier justice of the Wild West has been resurrected, and the local outlaws are demanding a heavy toll. Hangman’s Crossing thrusts you into a blood-soaked settlement where undead gunslingers and ruthless executioners actively patrol the dusty streets.

Don’t bother pleading for mercy—the judge, jury, and executioners are all out for blood.

Halloween Tree Secret Mocktail Bar

Need a breather from the monsters?

Sneak away to the Halloween Tree Secret Mocktail Bar for a refreshingly creepy concoction! Whether you’re craving a glowing green elixir packed with floating gummy eyeballs or a sweet, worm-infested punch, our exclusive non-alcoholic menu is the perfect pit stop to hydrate before diving into your next nightmare.

Face Painting

Blend in with the horde before you hit the haunted trails!

Elevate your Scaregrounds PDX experience with our professional Face Painting Nightly Add-On. Let our talented FX artists transform your look with a gruesome skull, a rotting zombie visage, or classic wicked detailing. It’s the ultimate way to secure killer photo ops and completely immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit.

Tarot Reading

What does your future hold, or is your fate already sealed?

Peer beyond the veil with our Tarot Reading Nightly Add-On. Sit down with our resident mystics for a personalized spread that will uncover your deepest secrets and predict your chances of surviving the night. It is an eerily calm diversion for those who truly dare to seek the truth.

Last Stop: Terror

Climb aboard an abandoned school bus bound straight for the underworld.

You and three friends race the clock to decipher occult symbols, hack the driver’s console, and slam the doors open before the route hits its final destination.

Total Blackout Maze

Enter The Complex Blackout, a fully dark mini haunt where sight is useless and every sound feels dangerously close. Feel your way through the unknown—but remember, something may already know exactly where you are.

Graveyard Scarezone

Dead men tell no tales, but they certainly still scream!

Navigate your way through our fully immersive Graveyard Scarezone, an open-air gauntlet teeming with restless spirits, thick fog, and bone-chilling frights. Keep your eyes peeled and your friends close, because the rotting residents of this cemetery are dying to meet you under the pale moonlight.

Includes the Buried Alive Experience!

The Gallows Entertainment Stage

Need a brief moment to catch your breath?

Gather ’round The Gallows Entertainment Stage for killer live performances that will leave you absolutely speechless. Featuring a rotating cast of gruesome talent, twisted acts, and jaw-dropping freak shows, this is the perfect spot to grab a drink and watch the madness unfold—just don’t stand too close to the edge of the stage.

Scarecrow Scarezone

The harvest is deeply cursed this season.

Venture out into the overgrown, neon-lit woods of the Scarecrow Scarezone, where every snapping twig signals incoming terror. With nowhere to hide and twisted stalkers blending perfectly into the rustling branches and decaying trees, this outdoor scream area guarantees your pulse will be pounding long before you reach safety.

Tribute Store

Shop horror-themed merchandise, collectibles, and exclusive ScareGrounds PDX keepsakes.

Chai Pani at Bollywood Theater: A Diwali Celebration

Bollywood Theater – Alberta2039 Northeast Alberta Street

Portland Book Festival welcomes Molly and Meherwan Irani, the husband-and-wife team behind Asheville’s nationally celebrated Chai Pani Restaurant Group. Their flagship restaurant, Chai Pani, was named Outstanding Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation in 2022.

This year, Molly and Meherwan each bring a new book to the table. Meherwan has written No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook in the World: At-Home Recipes from the Streets, Truck Stops, Villages, and Palaces of India. Molly’s Service Ready: A Story of Love, Restaurants, and the Power of Hospitality was published earlier this year. Together, the books offer two very different—and deeply connected—perspectives on food, restaurants, and hospitality.

In celebration of Diwali—the Hindu festival of lights, marked by food, gathering, and celebration—Molly and Meherwan will join their longtime friend Chef Troy MacLarty at Bollywood Theater on Alberta Street for a collaboration. Bollywood Theater will serve a special menu inspired by recipes from Meherwan’s book alongside its own Diwali-inspired menu. It’s a gathering of longtime friends, great food, and two books that reflect different sides of a shared life in restaurants.

Both books will be featured at Portland Book Festival, and Molly and Meherwan will be on hand at Bollywood to meet guests and sign copies.

Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Lewis & Clark College615 South Palatine Hill Road

From the celebrated and award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812, an electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Following a critically exalted premiere at Ars Nova in New York City, a subsequent off-Broadway transfer and an acclaimed run on Broadway, this award-winning musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.

Marigolds y Memorias

Milagro Theatre525 SE Stark St

Marigolds y Memorias is an original devised production inspired by the traveling carpa tradition, in which humor, music, and storytelling come together in a vibrant theatrical journey. Guided by an elder, a younger generation learns to build an altar, the heart of Día de Muertos, discovering the meaning behind each of its elements, from candles and marigolds to photographs, ofrendas, and cherished recuerdos. Through song, dance, and short theatrical vignettes, the altar gradually takes shape as an act of remembrance and cultural inheritance, inviting audiences to consider how traditions are taught, how memory is kept alive, and what is carried forward when we share rituals across generations.

Chai Pani x Bollywood Theater: A Diwali Celebration

Bollywood Theater2039 NE Alberta St

Portland Book Festival welcomes Molly and Meherwan Irani, the husband-and-wife team behind Asheville’s nationally celebrated Chai Pani Restaurant Group. Their flagship restaurant, Chai Pani, was named Outstanding Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation in 2022.

This year, Molly and Meherwan each bring a new book to the table. Meherwan has written No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook in the World: At-Home Recipes from the Streets, Truck Stops, Villages, and Palaces of India, releasing September 22. Molly’s Service Ready: A Story of Love, Restaurants, and the Power of Hospitality was published earlier this year. Together, the books offer two very different—and deeply connected—perspectives on food, restaurants, and hospitality.

In celebration of Diwali—the Hindu festival of lights, marked by food, gathering, and celebration—Molly and Meherwan will join their longtime friend Chef Troy MacLarty at Bollywood Theater on Alberta Street for a collaboration.

Bollywood Theater will serve a special menu inspired by recipes from Meherwan’s book alongside its own Diwali-inspired menu. It’s a gathering of longtime friends, great food, and two books that reflect different sides of a shared life in restaurants.

Both books will be featured at Portland Book Festival, and Molly and Meherwan will be on hand at Bollywood to meet guests and sign copies.

RACE DETAILS

DRUMSTICK DASH

Once again our Turkey Trot will feature a Drumstick Dash, a short run for our youngest participants ages 5 and under (not yet in kindergarten). We will make an announcement at 8:40 am for any children interested in participating to report to the starting line. The Drumstick Dash will begin at 8:45 am.

5K FUN RUN/WALK

Our main event, the 5K run/walk, will get started at 9 am. Those who are planning to run should position themselves at the front of the crowd, closest to the starting line. Walkers, please make way for runners who are trying to move to the front. There is no official timer for our fun run/walk event, so those interested in knowing their finish times should plan to use their own watches to time themselves. For safety, please keep in mind that at certain points on the route you may be asked to stop for vehicle traffic (vehicles have the right of way during the Turkey Trot) so finish times could be impacted.

5K ROUTE:

The course begins on 5th Ave. at Union Ridge Elementary and then heads down to Abrams Park and continues northeast along the trail bordering Gee Creek. From there the route takes participants up Heron Drive to Main Ave. It then continues south to the corner of Main & Pioneer and takes participants down to the Ridgefield waterfront via the railroad overpass. Participants will follow the course along Lake River and turn around near the south end of Carty Lake. The course then continues in reverse, back up to the corner of Main & Pioneer, where participants will head north for one block before heading east up Simons St. to finish back at Union Ridge Elementary.

EVENT SAFETY NOTE

Roads remain open throughout the event. Please stay to the right on roads and use sidewalks whenever possible. Once again, this is a family friendly fun run/walk event. Participants may be subject to brief waits for vehicle traffic. Since roads remain open, vehicle traffic does have the right away.

BRING ITEMS FOR THE RIDGEFIELD FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER

The Ridgefield Family Resource Center is seeking non-perishable foods (especially cereal, rice, pasta sauce, canned fruit, canned meat, and canned pasta meals) as well as new socks and stretchy knit gloves. For each item (non-perishable food items, pairs of socks, and pairs of gloves) brought to packet pick-up/in-person registration on Wednesday or Thursday morning, you will receive one ticket for entry into a prize drawing for $100 of local restaurant gift cards.

T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

Día de Los Muertos Festival: Marigolds y Memorias

Milagro – Miracle Theatre Group525 Southeast Stark Street

Each year, Milagro observes Día de Muertos with the premiere of a new production, altar displays, and community events with the Día de Muertos Festival. The Centerpiece event of the 31st Annual Día de los Muertos Celebration is Marigolds y Memorias, an original devised production inspired by the traveling carpa tradition, in which humor, music, and storytelling come together in a vibrant theatrical journey. Guided by an elder, a younger generation learns o build an altart, the heart of Día de Muertos, discovering the meaning behind each of its elements, from candles and marigolds to photographs, ofrendas, and cherished recuerdos. Through song, dance, and short theatrical vignettes, the altar gradually takes shape as an act of remembrance and cultural inheritance, inviting audiences to consider how traditions are taught, how memory is kept alive, and what is carried forward when we share rituals across generations.

Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a long-honored tradition with roots in Indigenous Mexican culture. Día de Muertos is observed annually in Mexican and other Latin American cultures on November 1st and 2nd as a remembrance of those who have passed. Individuals and families who honor this day set up ofrendas (altars) with offerings to their departed loved ones. Typical offerings include marigolds, calaveras, photos of the dead, and traditional food like “pan de muerto.”

Spain

Portland Center Stage at The Armory128 Northwest 11th Avenue

Step into a slippery world where the line between truth and fiction is all in the packaging. It’s 1936, and a pair of passionate filmmakers has landed their next big project: a sweeping Spanish Civil War film with the potential to change American hearts and minds. It just happens to be bankrolled by the KGB. Spain by Jen Silverman is a seductive and tense thriller about the power of art to change the world — for better and for worse.

by Jen Silverman, directed by Josh Hecht

One of the most ambitious productions in recent Profile history, Spain is a grand cross-disciplinary spectacle featuring multiple partnerships with arts organizations throughout Portland, including live opera developed in partnership with Portland Opera, and both recorded and live music performed by musicians with 45th Parallel.

Día de Muertos: A Celebration of Life

PortlandMap

Día de Muertos: A Celebration of Life is a compilation of artistic installations and art exhibits across the State of Oregon, based on the community tradition of Day of the Dead.

Day of the Dead has grown in popularity around the world in modern times. In the United States, it is known as an entertaining Mexican party. While it is related to Halloween at least in timing and the symbol of the skeleton, it is much more than just costumes and candy.

The project is an exploration of the origins and evolution of the traditional Mexican celebration Day of the Dead. We are made of memories and stories inherited from past generations, and now is the time to honor them. The essence of respect, love, unity and humor infused in this celebration embraces any person, connecting us with the varied forms of love that answer the question of what it means to be human.

Día de Muertos: A Celebration of Life is a compilation of artistic installations and art exhibits across the State of Oregon, based on the community tradition of Day of the Dead.
