Portland Saturday Market presents “Festival of the Last Minute”, a one-stop shopping event selling goods from local craftsmen and artists.    

“We’re delighted to bring back the Festival of the Last Minute,” explains Portland Saturday Market Marketing and Promotions Coordinator Reid Decker. 
“It’s our way of giving back to the community and small businesses, and making the holidays a little easier — and more fun — for shoppers.”

The “Festival of the Last Minute” is a great opportunity to buy local handcrafted items and food from across the world. Explore the 40 categories of arts and crafts and sample local distillers at Spirits Fest 2014, also hosted by the Portland Saturday Market.    

Make sure to visit the Santa’s booth to take pictures with Santa and stay warm at the several warming stations. Also enjoy holiday snacks and sing along to holiday classics with the chorus of carolers.  

Festival of the Last Minute will be held at 2 SW Naito Pkwy in Portland.
