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 of that year, the farmer 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 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 50 vendors, plus community booths, musicians, volunteers and neighbors.
In 2011, we expanded to a year-round season, and took over management of the nearby Lloyd Farmers Market on Tuesdays.
