Portland Farmers Market - Shemanski Park

This has been a gem of a market for downtown workers and residents since it opened in 1998. Many shoppers walk from their offices to this centrally located market on the South Park Blocks behind the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, just three blocks from Pioneer Courthouse Square. The market buzzes with tourists from nearby hotels, neighboring school teachers with little locavores, and culinary students and chefs shopping for produce for the night's dinner specials. A popular lunch destination, this market features 50 vendor stalls filled with farm-fresh and locally-made food under a lush green canopy of trees.
