Portland Saturday Market Facts & History
- Founded in 1974, Portland Saturday Market is celebrating its 25th season in 1998.
- Portland Saturday Market is the largest open-air crafts market in the United States.
- The Market's hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
- Portland Saturday Market is open rain or shine. It has only closed twice in its history, once for a blizzard and once for a volcanic eruption.
- Everything at the Market is handcrafted by the vendors and is being sold by the person who made it. The Market offers a unique opportunity for customers to meet the artists and often to see pieces being made right in the booths.
- The vendors who sell at the Market are individual small business owners from all over Oregon and Washington who participate in Market operations as members of the non-profit corporation. Over half of the craftspeople derive a majority of their income from sales at the Market.
- The Market has 274 regular spaces for crafts, merchandise, and food booths each weekend. With 500 artists participating in the Market each season, there is a different mix of products here every weekend. It's never the same Market twice. Each year approximately 30 percent of vendors are new vendors. On average, over a dozen new craftspeople join the Market each month during the season. The Market draws an estimated 750,000 visitors annually, including both area residents and tourists from around the world.
- Started with grant assistance from the Metropolitan Arts commission, Portland Saturday Market has earned a national reputation for service to its artist members.
- Gross revenues generated through the Market total approximately $10 million annually.
- Portland Saturday Market, Inc. is a non-profit corporation, owned by the vendors and governed by an elected board of directors.
- Portland Saturday Markets daily operations are managed by a staff of eight full-time employees and seven part-time employees.
- Portland Saturday Market is a juried market. Every item of craft or food is submitted for review to a panel of members who assure that it meets the Market's standards of quality and hand craftsmanship.
