About this place

Portland Saturday Market was started in 1974 by two local craftspeople, and it's now the largest continuously running outdoor market in the country. The rule that makes it special: everything sold at Saturday Market has to be made by the person selling it. It's run by its own members, more than 400 of them across this market and the neighboring Skidmore Market.

It runs every Saturday from March through December in Tom McCall Waterfront Park, just south of the Burnside Bridge. Sunday markets have come and gone over the years, so check the schedule if you're going on a Sunday.
