Some people come to see one vendor, but most come to take in the whole experience.
The Saturday Market, located under the Burnside Bridge between Naito Parkway and First Avenue at Burnside and Ankeny provides 274 stalls to vendors. With approximately 30,000 people wandering through the market each weekend, a lot of buying and selling takes place. More than half of the market's crafts people receive a majority of their income from the market, according to the Saturday Market website. A panel of members assure that each item the vendors sell is handcrafted and meets the market's standards of quality. A customer can browse through huge assortments of items.
