Every weekend, part of Portland’s downtown district is transformed into a wonderful, artsy outdoor marketplace. The Portland Saturday Market is renowned for its vibrant culture, incredible handmade goods, and delicious food carts, as well as for being the biggest continually-operated outdoor market in the country (wikipedia). You’re sure to find all kinds of amazing treasures at this lively local landmark.
The Saturday Market is located on the SW Portland Waterfront at the base of the iconic Burnside Bridge.
