Immerse yourself in a vibrant community of Portland creators at our city’s largest BIPOC marketplace, My People’s Market. 

Started in November 2017, My People’s Market was created to help entrepreneurs of color to the travel industry and  professionals who can help scale their businesses. It has since become our city’s largest Black, Indigenous, and people of color maker’s market.

This event lets you connect with BIPOC entrepreneurs, makers, artists, culinary artisans, beverage crafters and performers.

Here’s information about the upcoming event.

2023 My People’s Market

The market is taking place Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 from 12 to 6 p.m.

My People’s Market features 100 vendors selling apparel and accessories, home goods, art, wellness and beauty products, books, stationery, and children’s items and food and beverages.

The event also hosts interactive performances, musicians, and artists on both days of the event.

Make sure you arrive with an empty stomach so you can fill up on culinary offerings from Spice of Africa, La Casa de Mamá, Black Star Grill and 10 more hot food and drink vendors. There are also 6 sweet treat vendors.

The event is free to attend, but organizers do encourage you to register in advance for the day you plan to visit. 

The market is held at The Redd on 831 SE Salmon St. in Portland. For more information, visit the My People’s Market website.
