Know Before You Go
The Portland State University market is open year-round, and more markets are open for the late-spring through early-fall.
Portland’s dining scene is legendary. But not every great meal is served at a restaurant or a food cart. Each spring, the city’s farmers’ markets come to life, creating a food lover’s paradise loaded with seasonal produce and small-batch, locally crafted eats. Grab a (reusable) bag and get ready to explore the central city’s best outdoor markets.
Portland State University
Saturdays, Year-Round
Every Saturday, from 8:30 a.m.–2 p.m. (9 a.m.–2 p.m., Nov.–Feb.), downtown’s South Park Blocks transform into the city’s largest and most celebrated outdoor grocery. The Portland Farmers Market at PSU boasts 140 farmer and vendor stands, making it a great place to pick up not only heirloom tomatoes, Marionberries, broccoli and other hyper-local produce — but also some of the most iconic edible goods in town.
From Olympia Provisions charcuterie to bottles of Marshall’s Haute Sauce and bags of Nossa Familia Coffee, there are plenty of goodies to take home, even if your home is thousands of miles away. If you’re in the mood for take-out, order a plate of farm-fresh mole from Verde Cocina, a slice of deep-dish pizza from Via Chicago or the hunger-smashing “Reggie” breakfast sandwich from Pine State Biscuits and enjoy live music with your meal.
Shemanski Park
Wednesdays, May–Thanksgiving
The Shemanski Park Market, which runs 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Wednesdays from May through Thanksgiving, is tucked behind the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, only three blocks from Pioneer Courthouse Square. Local chefs, students, business people and visitors spend the lunch hour mingling at the market’s 50 stalls. After stocking up on organic produce from pears to pumpkins, shoppers chow down on kimchi dogs and grilled duck at Bingo! Sandwiches and wood-fired pizza from Tastebud. Liquid treats include herbal kombucha from Eva’s Herbucha and cold-pressed blends from the Portland Juice Company.
