Since 2015, the Portland Night Market has centered around Portland’s creative scene. Bringing together food, culture, music, drinks and retail, this quarterly event is a unique experience on the Central Eastside for Portlanders of all ages.
The Portland Night Market is making its return April 30-May 2, 2021. The event will be taking special precautions to keep visitors safe. There will be less vendors located inside and an expanded outdoor vendor space. Be sure to dress of the weather and bring your face covering so you can comfortably experience all the vendors.
The event will have food vendors onsite with seating pods where you can remove your mask for eating and drinking. These pods will be available in 30-minute intervals. They will be located on in the yard and the front dock.
While the Portland Night Market is traditionally a free event, an advance ticket purchase is now required. You will choose an hour and a half time window for your visit. The price is $10 on Friday and Saturday, and $6 on Sunday. Each online ticket option has an additional processing fee.
For all of us (myself included) who don’t like standing in long lines, this may be the best way to experience this event. A few years ago, it took about an hour in line just to get in the doors of the Portland Night Market. Ticketing will keep entrance numbers capped and allow you to get into the event right when you arrive.
Nothing is better than free, but prices are reasonable for this quarterly Portland event. Hopefully they will be able to go back to a free event in the future. Until then, here’s a breakdown of ticket prices per day and time:
- Friday, April 30, 4-5:30 p.m. $10 (+$2.24 processing fee)
