Saturday Market is a Portland staple and a must-see on everyones travel list when visiting. March 3rd marks the first day of the 39th selling season. The market is open every Saturday (and Sunday) through Christmas Eve and offers hundreds of local vendors that feature handmade items from jewelry to dog treats.
March 3rd and 4th will mark an opening celebration that includes giveaways, music, kids activities, food trucks and a whole lot more. Come down to the market on opening weekend and not only find one-of-a-kind goodies for yourself and family/friends, but also enjoy this whole list of awesomeness:
- BOGO tickets for Cirque du Soleils OVO show
- $25 gift card giveaways
- Main Stage entertainment, featuring local entertainers, like Johnny Martin
- Kids activities, featuring Janet Julian who will teach you and your little ones how to recycle materials to create musical instruments!
- Kids parade at noon on both days led by circus performers
- 21 food carts for every palette
- Over 200 amazing artisans
Youre sure to work up an appetite with all the excitement going on. If you are looking for something more traditional, so you can sit down and give your feet a rest, make a reservation at Mothers Bistro for brunch or lunch. Located on 2nd and Stark, its close enough to walk to and just far enough from the crowds (though there is always a crowd waiting for a table here) to make for a relaxing retreat from the market. If you ask anyone downtown for a good recommendation, Mothers is surely on their list of must-eats.
You can also cap off your trip to the market with a dessert to end all desserts: a doughnut at Voodoo. "The important to budget travel is to prepare onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Arranging and expending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Reducing consuming and costs, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". Another Portland landmark, you cant go leave unless youve had one, lest you be shunned by your family and friends back home.
