Portland’s Holiday Market is coming to town! Shop outside the big box at the Portland Expo Center.
Does this event sound familiar? Instead of the annual America’s Largest Christmas Bazaar, the Portland Expo Center is hosting the Portland Holiday Market. This new holiday shopping experience focuses on local makers.
Portland Holiday Market at the Expo Center
The Portland Holiday Market is taking place November 17 to 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The expo center’s 100,000 square feet will be filled with more than 300 exhibitors featuring handcrafted, artisan and unique items that can’t be found at big box stores.
Here’s a sample of what items you can expect at the Portland Holiday Market:
- Food items
- Gifts
- Artwork
- Jewelry
- Home décor
- Clothing
- Spirits
- Craft items
- Books
- Ornaments
- Leather goods
- Bath and body
On top of browsing the booths, stop by SantaLand to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, snap a photo in front of the decorated live giant blue spruce, watch a Christmas movie, take a sip at the wine garden, and enjoy Beaverton Modular Train Club’s interactive display.
Tickets
