Portland Revels

Portland Revels celebrates the seasons through song, dance, story and ritual of the past and present, creating community across generations and cultures.

Portland Revels was founded in 1994 by local theater, history and music lovers who were inspired to keep older artistic traditions alive around winter solstice at the darkest time of the year, a time when across cultures and throughout history humans have bonded together through music and dance to keep their spirits up. Each year the Christmas Revels performance focuses on cultural traditions from a different place and time. It is an enchanting, high quality music and theatre production that invites participation and inspires audiences to return year after year.
