The Saturday Market is a part of Eugene that we hope will never cease to exist. Unfortunately, the thing is a little susceptible to being washed away down the river if it rains too hard. This time of year, the Saturday Market becomes the Holiday Market, and it’s indoors, so you can leave your umbrella at home. Now at the Lane Events Center on 13th Avenue, the Holiday Market is as stuffed with hand made, local fare as ever. Whether you need a tie-die shirt, a purse, a statuette or a snow globe, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll fi nd something that you’re looking for. Oh yeah, and there’s killer local music each week to keep the market groovy. See you there.
