On any given Saturday from the beginning of March to the day before Christmas, shoppers can wend their way through the rows of tents of this large outdoor market featuring local makers, artisans, and chefs. A full sensory experience, the sights, and sounds will have shoppers and on-lookers tapping their heels to bluegrass pickers and jazz trios with weekly sets of local musicians performing for market-goers and passersby in Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

If you’ve worked up an appetite, sample the Northeast African cuisine of Horn of Africa which has been a Portland Saturday Market staple since 1994.

With gluten-free and vegan options, Angelina’s Greek Gyros serves up tasty wraps on freshly made pita.
