Eugene’s Saturday Market is a great place to visit rain or shine. Its uniquely local crafts, a variety of food carts ranging from the Vegan Tofu Palace to the India house. There is a live music stage right next to the food carts where you can eat and listen or eat and shop or just enjoy. A wonderful fresh farmers market right across the street from Saturday Market attracts an equal number of locals and visitors during the harvest season. The first Saturday market opened in 1974 and continued to expand during the 1970’s due to the large increase of artists settling in Eugene. The market was a great way to show and sell one’s work and provided a place for local farmers to sell their produce directly to consumers. Both brought people back downtown from the recently built shopping mall at Valley River Center. The Eugene Saturday market is open April through Thanksgiving every year rain or shine. It is located on 8th and Oak streets in downtown Eugene.
