Night Market

100 SE Alder St., pdxnm.com.

Every few months, from 4 to 11 pm Fridays and Saturdays, the Night Market takes over Produce Row for a glorious weekend. Nearly 200 local artisans, food carts and clothiers assemble inside a roomy warehouse to form a craft fair, farmers market and very fun bar all in one place. It's free, and because it's free, it's packed. Get in line before 8 pm if you want to have more than elbow room when shopping. At the end of this year, the Night Market will be open Oct. 18 and 19 and Dec. 5-8.
