Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival

May

By far, Portland's most anticipated annual event.  The week of the Strawberry Festival is marked by many activities during the week, capped off with the big festival day on Saturday.  Typically held the third Saturday in May, this event has been celebrated for over 60 years and draws thousands of visitors from neighboring couties and states.  Be sure to visit the official Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival website for more information!

Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament

May

This very popular event is held annually during the week of the Strawberry Festival.  Golf teams are assembled from local businesses for a morning of competition among business-sponsored holes.  Players enjoy breakfast, goodie bags, and an awards presentation following the event.

Chamber Banquet and Fun Night

October

This annual event is a night of fun for our membership to come together and recognize those individuals who made significant contributions during the year, as well as enjoy dinner.  In the past, a live auction has also followed the evening's dinner, which is now held as a separate event in the summer.

Holiday Tour of Homes

December

Every December, a select group of homes from the Portland community is chosen to be featured in the Holiday Tour of Homes.  Conducted on a Sunday afternoon in early December, this event is designed to kick off the holiday season and encourage residents of our city and neighboring communities to visit with fellow residents and spread holiday cheer.  

Holifest Christmas Parade

In early December, the holiday season is welcomed into Portland with the Holifest Christmas Parade.  We are also usually lucky enough to receive a visit from the big Man in Red, himself!  Members of the community look forward to this large parade featuring floats and vehicles with festive decorations, second in size only to the Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival Parade.
