We had a great time walking around and looking at the local artist’s work. I even got a cool bracelet! I saw some reviews saying it was in a bad area. We felt unsafe. We parked in a parking garage about 2 blocks away for only $3.

For over a year, I’ve been facing harassment from a security guard who is a bearded privileged man with dark glasses, often accompanied by a slim sidekick. They frequently patrol near the businesses I visit. Despite my efforts to address this issue, there’s been little response or investigation. This ongoing situation seems to reflect poorly on Paul Verhoeven. If you encounter similar problems, I suggest contacting the Department of Justice or escalating the matter to the Portland Police Bureau and the Better Business Bureau. My next step is filing a formal complaint through our Judicail process.

Not many vendors. Nothing special to see or buy. We waled the whole thing in about 10 mins. Not worth a trip just to visit the market.
The Lebanese food truck “Beirut Catering” is ok, I tried the combo plate with falafel, it is just a taste of the Lebanese food for those who never tried it before, but for a person who grew up eating this type of food, the food served is mediocre at its best.
The authentic Greek gyro at Angelina’s Greek Gyros truck is excellent. Just the wait is little bit long, but it worths it.
We heard from locals this was a fun way to spend a Saturday from March til Christmas. There was live local music on a stage near the river that was very good, great place to get something to eat at any of the booths or food trucks and listen to music. You can find almost anything as walk walk through the market. There is art, clothing, jewelry, household items, foods of all types from around the world, nick-nacks, and even local art postcards. Get there early and park in the parking garage only yards away. There is no entrance fee, so you can browse for free. You can also walk the linear park along the river.
During my recent visit to the Saturday Market in Portland, Oregon, I encountered a distressing situation. One of the individuals, a bearded man wearing dark sunglasses, is known for his racist views. Alongside another person, they racially profiled me, following me around despite my attempts to avoid them. Their behavior marred what should have been an enjoyable experience at the market, leaving me feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable.
