Winter Waters Weekend: Port Orford
March 1st - 2nd — Port Orford, OR — DETAILS COMING SOON
Mark your calendar for the weekend of March 1st, 2025, and be part of something extra special - Winter Waters is making our first-ever journey to the Southern Oregon Coast, landing in the gem of a fishing village, Port Orford!
Port Orford feels like a secret you just can’t wait to share. At the heart of this community is the Port of Port Orford, where the rare dolly dock showcases a spectacle few ever witness - fishing boats hoisted in and out of the water! This working port supports not only a vibrant mom-and-pop commercial fishing fleet but is a hub for marine conservation, research, and education.
Stay tuned as we reveal our Port Orford partners and event line up - but please mark your calendars for the first weekend of March and join us on the South Coast. Make sure you’re signed up for our NEWSLETTER.
A huge thank you to our sponsor: Main Street Port Orford.
About Us
Winter Waters is an Oregon-born initiative dedicated to promoting seaweed as a superfood culinary ingredient and enhancing local Oregon coast food systems. Our mission is to bridge the gap between consumers and sustainable seafood sources through education and shared meals.
Each February, Winter Waters collaborates with chefs and tastemakers to celebrate local seafood! The state of Oregon boasts some of the most sustainable fisheries in the world, yet much of the seafood produced is exported, and a significant portion of consumed seafood is imported (about 90%!). There is a disconnect between the people and the process and we’d like to help bridge this gap through education and delicious culinary experiences.
