Keep Portland Weird Sign

Portland, OR

"Keep Portland Weird" is a popular slogan that appears on bumper stickers, signs, and public buildings throughout Portland, Oregon and its surrounding metro area. It originated from the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan and was originally intended to promote local businesses, though it has since evolved into an all-encompassing slogan that secondarily promotes individuality, expressionism, local art, as well as atypical lifestyle choices and leisure activities. The slogan frequently inspires articles and debate that attempt to quantify the exact level to which Portland is considered weird, unusual or eccentric.

The slogan has been called the unofficial motto of Portland, as well as the informal mantra of the city's residents.

The most popular KPW photo op is a mural on the back side of Dante's, conveniently located across the street from Voodoo Donuts.
