Roux returns to Portland October 9-11 for a weekend of dinners, brunches, parties, panels and food-centric experiences with women at the helm.
Xcelerate Women is proud to once again be Roux’s nonprofit beneficiary partner, joining chefs, makers, restaurateurs, and community members for three delicious days of collaboration, flavor, and some seriously good food.
Friday, October 9: Party at Pamana inside The Hoxton Hotel | 5–9 PM
Kick off the Roux weekend with a conversation exploring hospitality, connection, and the importance of creating meaningful experiences in an increasingly disconnected world, followed by a vibrant party designed to bring those ideas to life. Featuring visiting chef, Christina Topacio! Come for music, collab treats, wine, cocktails and a few fun surprises.
Saturday, October 10: Dinner at Gado Gado | 5–8 PM
Celebrate Portland's best dining experience and join us for a thoughtfully curated dinner experience at James Beard–nominated Gado Gado with guest chef, Melissa Miranda from Musang Seattle. Enjoy dessert from Cafe Olli’s very own, Siobhan Speirits.
Sunday, October 11: Brunch at Fireside | 10–2PM
We’re not going to ignore fall’s fan favorite - the PSL. So we’re leaning in and bringing you a pumpkin spice menu takeover during Roux Weekend at Fireside in NW.
Sunday, October 11: Secret Sauce Panel at CASCADA | 3–6PM
Don’t miss Xcelerate Women and Prosper Portland’s Secret Sauce Panel discussion Sunday afternoon at CASCADA. Our theme this year is placemaking and the role that physical spaces (cafes, shops, cities, regions) play in creating community and informed decision making about when and how to sustainably expand your business.
