Before Pioneer Place, there was this plaza. The original center of downtown Portland, the plaza was alive with business and entertainment and had a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. It got a facelift in the 1980s when MAX, the local light rail, made tracks. The square is busy on weekends now, thanks to the Saturday Market, a city flea market and bazaar. The square, complete with Skidmore Fountain circa 1888, still has a bit of an historic feel.

We missed the food on the weekend but on sw 3rd & sw Washington there are food trucks of many different kinds of food.
MoreWe found this area while on a food tour. There were several street vendors with food and drink, as well as many artistic booths as well. Well worth walking through. Available on Saturday and Sunday.
MoreCenter piece of the POrtland Saturday Market full of way cool treasures and finds! Great arts, crafts and foods abound!
MoreNear Voodoo Doughnuts, this plaza is the site of the Portland Saturday Market. Portland keeps it weird so be prepared for some weird characters around here.
