Inaugural Celebration Happy Hour!

This is it—the official launch of the PDX Celebration Society!

We are kicking things off with a casual happy hour to meet the crew, establish our supportive vibe, and start building Portland's best new social circle.

Whether you have a huge milestone to celebrate right now, a "retro-win" from five years ago that never got its proper celebration, or you just want to be a cheerleader for others—you belong at this table.

What to Expect & Agenda
The vibe is casual and welcoming. We know walking into a new group can be nerve-wracking, but we are all in the same boat for this first event! We have structured the evening to make sure everyone gets a chance to shine without too much pressure.

• 5:30 PM - 6:15 PM: Arrival & Mingling. Grab a drink, get settled, get a nametag, and start meeting your new hype squad.
• 6:15 PM: The Inaugural Kick-Off Toast. A very brief welcome from the organizer to officially launch the Society and set the stage for future adventures.
• 6:30 PM onwards: The Celebration Intervals. This is where the magic happens. Every 10 minutes, we will briefly pause the mingling to raise a collective glass to one person's win (past or present). We will keep these mini-toasts rolling throughout the evening until everyone who wants a shout-out has received their moment in the sun.

What to Bring

1. Your wallet: This is a no-host event, so please plan to cover your own food and drinks.
2. A supportive attitude: This is our only strict requirement. Check competition, jealousy, and indifference at the door. Bring your best cheering voice!
3. Your "Win" (Optional!): Do you have something you want to celebrate during our 10-minute intervals? A new job? A birthday? Or something incredible you achieved years ago that was overlooked? Bring that story so we can finally give it a proper cheers.

Can't wait to meet everyone and raise a glass (many times)!
