Time: 3:30pm - 6:30pm
Location: Eastbank Farmer's Market
Street: SE 20th and Salmon
City/Town: Portland, OR

The Pietopia pie contest encourages members of our Portland community to connect and honestly discuss the current state of life in their city, via pie. Utilizing the senses, winners were asked to describe their present state of life through flavor, smells, memories, longings, stories, and ultimately a recipe. “What does it taste like to be unemployed, in a band, starting a new job, surfing, dancing, going crazy, just married, a grandma, undecided, divorced, having a child, grounded, surviving something big and scary, a student, a new homeowner or desperately searching for housing?” The call to entry asks, “What kind of pie would describe the way you are feeling right now? Could you imagine your thoughts, concerns or joys transformed into the All-American Pie?”

Come experience the taste of our community through our winning pies! See you there!
