Saturday Market opens with new look
People o f all ages are drawn to Portland's Saturday Market where artists
from across the Northwest gather each Saturday and Sunday with live
music and a plethora o f exotic foods.
Portland’s Saturday Market opens its 37th
season this Saturday and Sunday, March 6-
7, with a new look under an 8,000-square-
foot open-sided pavilion, a cantilevered deck
overlooking the Willamette River and a cir­
cular plaza in a beautiful park setting.
"The new Portland Saturday Market site
in Waterfront Park and Ankeny Plaza has
given us the stability we need to remain an
anchor in Old Town. The sense of perma­
nence will allow staff and members time to
focus on improving programs and daily op­
erations,” said Lisa Gugino, the market’s
membership program coordinator.
The weekend celebration will include 5
daily give-a-ways of $25 gift cards and one
grand prize gift basket, which includes four
tickets to Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Gar­
den, a $100 gift card, and other fine crafted
goodies from the market.
The market’s main stage will be serving
up traditional Irish music all weekend along
with the likes of The Fenbi International
Superstars; the Kid’s Corner, featuring Janet
Julian teaching children and their families
how to create musical instruments out of
recycled materials and a kid’s parade, both
days.
Portland Saturday Market is the largest
arts and crafts market in continuous opera­
tion in the United States. It is held every
Saturday and Sunday from March through
Christmas Eve at Southwest Ankeny Street
and Naito Parkway.
