Portland Saturday Market
It's no wonder the Portland Saturday Market is one of Portland's top 10 attractions. Established in 1974, the Portland Saturday Market is the largest outdoor arts-and-crafts market in continuous operation in the United States. Filled with the colors and flavors of more than 300 artisans, the market offers quality art, handmade toys, clothing and 26 food booths in the International Food Court. All items are handcrafted and sold by the artisans. Rain or shine, the market is open every Saturday and Sunday, March through Christmas Eve, in Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Fun Way to Spend the Morning
The Portland Market is a great place to hang out! It's easy to get to via MAX and there's really something for everyone. The cool thing about geting art there (whether it's paintings or photos) you can actually talk to the artist about it and find out things you wouldn't from just buying something in a store. There's also some amazing food! J'as Das Desserts-a cupcake company, does delicious red velvet cake! There's also two stages for bands, one by the fountain that's a little more kid-friendly and plenty of things to shop around for.
