The Portland Saturday Market, held each weekend beside the Willamette River, is the largest continuously operating open-air arts and crafts market in the United States. Hundreds of local artisans sell handmade jewellery, art, crafts, clothing and gifts, alongside food carts and live music in a festive riverside setting. Buying directly from the makers supports the local creative community and rewards visitors with unique, handmade souvenirs. Lively and colourful, it is a wonderful place to shop, snack and soak up the city’s crafty, community spirit.
