REVIVE YOUR SENSES
at the Astoria
Sunday Market
Astoria Sunday Market is the place to
revive your senses and re-experience
all of the feelings that you’ve been
missing during the pandemic.
Thank You for the Support!
Food Access
THANK YOU to Astoria Sunday Market
vendors, market-goers, Downtown Astoria
businesses, and neighbors for all of the
support and care for each other over
this past year. The pandemic made the
resiliency of this community bright and
visible. As an outdoor experience, vendors
safely supported our market goers with
access to local goods and food; market
goers safely supported our vendors and
businesses by shopping local. It’s a joy to
come back stronger in 2021.
Astoria Sunday
Market works
to support food
access for all
visitors and
community
members alike.
This year we will be working toward
accepting SNAP / EBT at the market.
Check website to find out when we are
officially live! Many of our farmers also
accept FDNP and WIC checks!
Doggie Doo-do’s and Don’ts
Astoria Sunday
Market is a dog-
gone friendly
place. We are
also a bustling and lively affair so not all dogs
will be wagging their tails. If you have a
nervous dog or one that is not well socialized,
please consider leaving them at home.
Here are a few Doggie Doo-do’s and Don’ts
to help make your visit more enjoyable for
yourself, your pup, the vendors and all the
other good folks visiting the Market.
| Short Leash: Please keep your dog on
a short leash and do not use retractable
leashes. The Market is a crowded place
and it is easy for other visitors to trip over
leashes (or your dog).
| No Doo-Doo Allowed: Please be sure
your dog has been thoroughly walked in
an appropriate area before coming to the
Market. If your dog has taken care of his
business at home they are less likely to
need relief at the Market. If Mother Nature
does call, please PLEASE clean up after your
dog. We have doggie-emergency cleaning
kits at the Market Info Booth.
| No “tinkling” on vendor products or tents!
(One would think this doesn’t need to be
spelled out but alas…) Please curb your dog.
Some of our vendors charge dog-owners a
cleaning fee of $50 or more and the Market
supports them in this endeavor.
| Inquisitive Noses: Dogs follow their noses,
especially around food. We request that
dogs and their noses be kept away from
our food vendor booths. We suggest
having a partner sit with the dog at one of
the tables while you find your favorite snack
or meal.
| Not Everyone is Nuts About Mutts: Please
remember that not everyone loves dogs the
way you do and some people may even be
afraid of dogs – especially the large breeds.
No matter how sweet and adorable you
know your pooch to be, please be respectful
of others.
We strive to maintain a fun and
pleasant environment for everyone
and with your cooperation we can
continue bei ng dog-gone friendly!
TASTE! Delicious meals and treats in our
food court. It’s back!
SEE! Friends and familiar faces that
you’ve missed this past year.
FEEL! Soft fabrics, chiseled wood, beaded
textures, shaped porcelain, and more
from our talented artisan vendors.
REFRESH! With a cornucopia of greens,
berries, peaches, and more of the
freshest local produce around.
SMELL! Foods you’ve been craving all
year! Kettle corn, roasted nuts, donuts,
pies, and more!
EMBRACE! The Columbia River breeze,
with your community by your side.
REMEMBER! Keep wearing your mask,
keep appropriate distance from others,
and wash your hands.
COVID SAFETY
Your health is our number one priority
While at the market you must:
• Wear a mask at all times.
• Always maintain a safe distance
from others.
• Regularly wash your hands at
our wash stations.
• Stay home if you or someone
you live with is sick.
• Read and respect vendor safety
signage.
• Avoid blocking aisles and step
aside if others want to approach
a booth.
• Wait to enter the market until
there is at least 6 feet of distance
between you and others.
• Shop and go so others can safely
enter Market.
Thank you all for your continued
patience and cooperation.
