In Short
Colorful handmade clothing flutters in the breeze. Artists chat about their work with customers. The smells of ethnic foods and fresh-baked goods waft through the air while local street performers keep people entertained. Shoppers browse the market and shop for everything from watercolors and pottery to homemade marionberry jam and jewelry, then treat themselves to an elephant ear or some pad thai.

Insider Tips
Save TimeThe market is right on the MAX line, so leave the car at home and ride the train.
Save MoneyIf you hit the food court near closing time, the prices sometimes get lower--and the portions get a whole lot bigger--as vendors try to clean out their stock before closing up for the day.
When to GoThe main stage in the food court features local musical and dance performances every Saturday and Sunday, 11:30am-4pm. Styles range from bluegrass to jazz, and rock to ethnic.

I just returned home for a weekend and had took out of town family here. This truley gives you a picture of Portland culture! Everything from fine artisan gifts, true craftsmanship, cheap trinkets, funny t-shirts, and food galore! And the people are as diverse as the items sold; hippies, middle class, college students, etc. The food is amazing, tons of ethnic choices, I love dona lola's mexican pupusas, amazing!! This is beautiful during the summer and right across from water front park.
Pros: Tons of yummy food, great location, very cultural, fun!
Cons: can get a little crowded

I just adore Saturday Market. There is soooo much to do. And so many things to eat!!! Everyone is so friendly and there are hippies everywhere. Theres always free entertainment (tips appreciated) from starving musicians to clowns and face painters. It's open Sat and Sun which is convienant since I always worked on Saturdays. Things are a little pricey but there is one artist who has a booth there that I love. His name is Daniel Work and his paintings are so lovely you must check them out. And very reasonably priced they normally run $$$ 10.00-20.00. If you are ever in the Portland area you really must stop by it is my favorite place in portland.
Pros: Best place in Portland
Cons: Things can be pricey
