Rocky Butte Farmers Market Opens On Saturday May 2, 2026 With Live Music, Kid's Booth, Master Gardener Advice And More (Photo) - 04/29/26

A celebration of community resilience and food sovereignty!

Portland, Oregon, April 28, 2026 – Rocky Butte Farmers Market opens for the season this Saturday, May 2nd from 9am-1pm at NE Siskiyou and 80th Ave. in Portland, OR.

Market organizers emphasize that participating in local food systems is key to resiliency from global impacts. While big-box grocery prices skyrocket and face food shortages, locally grown produce from the farmers market isn’t dependent on global exports and keeps your money right here in our local economy.

Rocky Butte Farmers Market is a small neighborhood market focused on breaking barriers for new businesses and small farms, offering vital services and care for its community. Featuring over 20 vendors per week, the market also hosts weekly live music and educational kids’ activities.

New this season is a “Food Hub”, which includes the market’s Community Table (a space for neighbors to participate without use of a full booth), educational food demos to increase produce familiarity and decrease food waste, and a “Micro-Farm Booth”, acting as a mini co-op for local small farms.

Opening Day will feature:

• Increased purchasing power: SNAP is matched up to $20 per visit to spend on fruits and vegetables thanks to Double Up Food Bucks
   

• Live music by local pianist/songwriter M.J. Johnston
   

• Community educator Caitlyn Whitcomb will launch the season’s fun, seasonal, and educational Kids’ Booth activities with “Vendor Bingo”. Participating kids ages 3-13 receive a $5 kids’ token to spend how they like at the market.
   

• The OSU Master Gardeners will be sharing spring gardening tips and tricks at the market’s free non-profit booth.
   

• Free Narcan will be provided each week at the Info Booth thanks to partnership with Multnomah County. (https://multco.us/info/overdose-prevention)

Expanding their mission of food security, each week Rocky Butte Farmers Market collects excess food from vendors to donate directly to Mainspring Community Pantry. This keeps high-quality, locally grown produce and handmade baked goods within the community to ensure that everyone has access to fresh, seasonal food and treats, regardless of income. Mainspring also has a booth at the market each week to collect clothing, hygiene, and non-perishable food donations.

More than just a market, Rocky Butte Farmers Market strives to be an impactful community resource - collaborating with neighboring pantries, nonprofits, and organizations to provide services to underserved community members, increase access to education and food security, and positively impact the ecology, health, and overall community well-being.

Rocky Butte Farmers Market will open at 9 am on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the Roseway neighborhood at NE Siskiyou and 80th, next to Glenhaven Park. The market runs every Saturday from 9am to 1pm through October 31.
