The market strives to be environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and educational for all ages.
Description
History
In early 1997, a group of Northeast Portland neighbors sat around a table and put together a plan to create the Hollywood Farmers Market. In May, the market opened in the Washington Mutual parking lot with 10 vendors. Since that time the market has grown, moved and been sustained by even more wonderfully involved friends and neighbors. In 2000, we moved to our present location on NE Hancock Street between NE 44th and 45th Avenues. This location now comes alive on Saturdays throughout the year, with over 100 different vendors, community booths, musicians, and the absolute best volunteer crew ever!
