The Portland Bazaar is the city’s finest holiday gift showcase and sale. Since 2011, their mission is to create an exciting market that highlights the skilled artists, makers and small businesses of Portland, Oregon. When you shop small, you are putting your dollars directly back into the community by supporting someone’s small business, their family and helping fuel the local economy. With every purchase made at the Portland Bazaar, a very happy business owner gets to sustain their passion after an extremely tough year.
Shop over 160 of Portland's best-emerging brands & designers all under one roof! Visit Unique Markets: Portland Holiday 2022 Market and browse everything from clothing and accessories to art, jewelry, gourmet treats and home goods — all while meeting the designers and small business owners. This might sound like an overwhelming amount of options, we hear you, BUT they also have a kid's zone for little ones to get some of that boundless energy out, photobooths, DJs, FREE drinks, and an opportunity to get your gifts wrapped for free!
Oh, wait, did you think 160 vendors was a lot? Wait until you see the layout of the incredible Crafty Wonderland holiday market event! Over 250 artists will be selling their goods at the Crafty Wonderland Holiday Art + Craft Market at Oregon Convention Center this year. It's a giant spread of vendors, but it's also a total blast. You'll find kids selling their crafts, custom artifacts, vintage goods, and just about everything you could dream up, with a very Portland quirk that you know and love (think Bigfoot on bicycles, gritty urban oracle card decks, cats and more cats, taxidermy mice in snowy ornaments, and so much more).
Okay, this one is a bit of a drive, but we promise it's worth it! Silverton Christmas Market, about an hour's drive away from Portland, offers a joyous and magical holiday experience for all ages. Stroll along immersive paths draped in more than one million lights. Explore the authentic German Christmas Market for gifts from artisan vendors and imported German nutcrackers, smokers and ornaments. Visit Santa to share your wish list or enjoy music and a local brew in the Biergarten. Cozy up to a wood-burning fire pit or take a ride down the snowless tubing hill. Then, drive on back and relax in your room at Jupiter Hotel while you go through all your gorgeous new goods.

The Portland Saturday Market has resumed for its 49th season on Saturdays only, with 150 vendors showcasing a variety of arts & crafts sold by local Pacific Northwest artisans. Our favorite part?
