Saturday Market is located at and around:

SW Akeny & SW Naito Park Way

Weekends after 11am

If you’re coming from home, the easiest way to get there is by hopping on the MAX for free since it’s in fareless square! Riding from any stop heading East (from Indigo 12 West) will drop you off at the Skidmore Fountain stop, which is right at Saturday Market.

Many of you are wondering “Is it dog friendly?” Absolutely! Just remember to be courteous and pick up after your little friends do thier business :o)

I know Labor Day is months away, but this is definitely an event anyone who lives in the great Northwest should attend at one point in life.  Ask around…I’ll put money it  1 or 2 out of 10 people from the area either have been to this spectacular show, or know of someone who has.
