SMUTFEST™ — PDX · APRIL 2026
This is not a book fair.
This is where grown readers, indie authors, and luxury vendors stop pretending and start celebrating what we actually love.
Wine. Desserts. Dark romance.
Romantasy. Smut. Erotica.
Unapologetic pleasure—with taste.
If you read it after hours…
If you annotate the spicy parts…
If midlife made you bolder, not quieter—
Welcome.
