Scroll down for our editors’ picks of the top holiday shopping events of the year!
My People’s Market
Is the start of November too early for holiday shopping? Not when you consider the offerings of My People’s Market, a showcase of minority-owned businesses that lets you enjoy great music and food while you get a jump-start on your gift list.
Crafty Wonderland
Founded in 2006, Crafty Wonderland is the city’s biggest arts and crafts market, drawing 225+ vendors and tens of thousands of visitors to the Oregon Convention Center every December. If you miss the big event, you can still find many made-in-Portland gifts at the permanent Crafty Wonderland shop downtown.
Festival of the Last Minute
Holiday shopping procrastinators, Portland Saturday Market has you covered with its annual Festival of the Last Minute. Every year, they end their season with six days of one-stop shopping so you can find handcrafted presents for every last person on your list.
