A few weeks ago EW had a calendar blurb grouping Saturday Market’s Holiday Market and the Holiday Farmer’s Market together, but the two events are very different, says Jacob Strouckel, Saturday Market Holiday Market’s Marketing Director. Luckily, both events take place at the Lane Events Center during roughly the same hours, so you can easily hit each of them. Strouckel says a big draw to Saturday Market’s Holiday Market specifically is its live local music. “Any day at the Holiday Market we’ve got at least nine individual performances,” Strouckel says. “There’s also busking from performers in the hallway out front so there’s music everywhere.” The market offers music from acoustic folk like Aruna Beth Miriam Rose, pictured, to gospel from the likes of the Inspirational Sounds Choir both of whom played last weekend. This weekend, Strouckel says, people should try and catch performances by the Soromundi Lesbian Chorus of Eugene — they’ll be singing spiritual, political, women’s and multicultural music, according to the Holiday Market’s website — and Larry Pattis. “He’s a traditional classical guitar player,” Strouckel says of Pattis. “Normally to see him you’d have to pay for tickets.” Larry Pattis and the Soromundi Lesbian Chorus are performing on Sunday, Dec. 17, at 11:30 am and 3:15 pm respectively. Saturday Market’s Holiday Market is 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, Dec. 16, and Sunday, Dec. 17, at the Lane Events Center. Admission is always FREE. — Meerah Powell Sour Banana Sherbet (Sour Diesel x Banana Sherbet) Delicious, euphoric, perfectly balanced; this indoor, organically grown hybrid from Eugene’s own King’s Cannabis must be seen to be believed.
