It’s not the best farmers market I’ve been to but it’s the best in Astoria. If you find yourself in Astoria on a Sunday afternoon it is definitely worth a stop. Solid selection of crafts, produce and flowers.

Sunday Market is small and cute. There’s food and things to buy. A local told me to try the salmon chowder and it was pretty disappointing. There was hardly, if at all, any salmon in my chowder. It was mainly vegetables and the cream, I wasn’t expecting gourmet salmon chowder, but at least some kind of taste that was memorable. The Sunday market is nice if you’re already in town, it’s fun, there’s live music but I don’t think it’s worth traveling hundreds of miles to go to.

Picturesque produce, tasty photography, and an amazing range of local businesses, not least FUDGE!

Run-of-the-mill farmer’s market with an overabundance of underachievers for vendors. It’s a good place to buy fruits and vegetables, but I’m not exactly impressed with the endless displays of homemade dreamcatchers and bird houses. If I wanted to look at stuff like that, I’d pack my bags and move to San Francisco. And trying to get information out of the so-called Market Director is about as easy as putting braces on a shark. All in all, I’d go here again, but only because I live so close. It’s certainly not something worth driving to.

Bigger and better than expected! I went Labor Day weekend and it was pretty packed, not sure if it’s always like that. I was impressed by the diverse options at the food area: tamales, Indian, salmon chowder(with gigantic pieces of garlic Texas toast for $ 1!), mini donuts, Middle Eastern, crab cakes… it was quite difficult to choose because everything looked sooo good. The market had some unique items I’ve never seen before, like drinking vinegar and pickled garlic cloves. I like that the items seemed local/homemade and not just cheap trinkets made in China for resell. My favorite booths include the hummus and flatbread, chips and salsa, and bakery with dozens of different types of cookies. The kids selling their crafts was pretty darn cute. There was also delicious cheeses, jams/jellies, soaps, clothes, flowers, fruits & veggies, wooden furniture, pet items, popcorn, and much more. Definitely recommend stopping by if you find yourself in Astoria on a Sunday from Mother’s Day through October. Free parking is easy to find and dogs are allowed!

This is one of my most favorite Sunday Markets. Great location with plenty of artists, food, produce and music. While your visiting wander around downtown Astoria has much to offer. Go out of your way to visit this market you wont be disappointed.

This is a fun market, open Sundays only from 10am-3pm. Lots of vendors with their handcrafted goods and art for sale, lots of veggies and fruit for sale and a caricaturist! There is an adjoined food tent area to order lunch but no beer garden, we walked up the street to Fort George to have a beer after eating and shopping. Make sure you bring cash as not all the vendors take cards. PS. Around 2:30 a lot of «Sale» signs come out.

Astoria has a very gifted number of artists here and their work is incredibly reasonable! Hours are 10AM-3PM. There is an entire section with food(crepes, Mexican, hot dogs, hamburgers, Indian, smoked salmon chowder, crab cakes) Then there are two blocks plus one square block of little stands. They sell fresh produce, lavender, flowers, carved bird houses, paintings of the local area, clothes, ironwork art, etc.) If you are around on a Sunday, I would certainly recommend stopping by the market!

Excellent Farmer’s Market on the North Coast… bought some wine, some grapes, apples, spice pack, Chinese broccoli, and some scented shea butter. Lots of great food, local wines, organic produce, local crafts, and prepared foods.

Where can you go where you can get mowed over by strollers, sniffed by dogs and elbowed by people who have no sense of decorum, buy«local» produce and see craft displays? Astoria Sunday market. This is heavy on the crafts, light on farm fresh food… And I don’t mean food vendors. However it’s the«best» Astoria has to offer… But I like Thursdays on 13th street… And love Olympia’s farmers market where craft items are few, and fresh local seafood, meats, baked goods and produce are abundant. See you on the highway heading North!

Fun market! By the numbers: The Astoria Sunday Market runs from 10am to 3pm every Sunday. They shut down a 4-block stretch of 12th street from Marine Dr. to Franklin Ave. The market features live music, hundreds of vendors, a food court with all sorts of selections, assorted crafts, and fresh flowers, produce, breads, cheeses, meats, and seafood. There’s no point in describing all of the various crafts available. You’ll find a pretty comprehensive list of vendors on the well-maintained website( ) where you can also sign up for updates via the«What’s Fresh» or «Vendors» RSS feeds and email links. I’ll just hit the high points. When someone talks to me about«going to the market,» I usually think of a farmers’ market. The Astoria Sunday Market retains some of the elements of a farmers’ market, but it’s more of a craft fair. If you’re looking for fresh produce, you’ll find it at Astoria Sunday Market, but you’ll have to wade through wood carvings, soaps, shawls, sweaters, bird houses, flower stands and various other random knick-knacks to find it. Don’t get me wrong, the knick-knacks are fun. I’ve been through the market six times already this summer and I always find something new and interesting. Even if you only go for the live music and the«food court,» it’s worth going once or going back again and again. We went back the second time for more fresh produce(and bread and cheese) and ended up staying for breakfast. We’ve gone back for breakfast every Sunday since and we try something new each time. It’s a great way to sample different food, listen to live music, and people-watch all at the same time. If you’re just going to visit the food court(at the corner of 12th and Marine Dr. — in the Wells Fargo parking lot) definitely try the crepes and the smoked salmon chowder. Astoria Sunday Market only gets 4 stars because so much of the produce doesn’t even come from Oregon. I like local markets and I spend my time and money in local markets to support local businesses. When the market allows vendors to truck in produce from out-of-state, that defeats the purpose as far as I’m concerned.

Astoria has really stepped it up. The last time I spent any significant time there was about two years ago — since then, it looks to me like they have done a lot of work on the downtown historical district and they have a gem of a Farmer’s Market. This is an «arty» Market, with lots of doo-dads and gee-gaws to be looked at and purchased — fuzzy hula hoops, jewelery, art, things for your pet, your house, that in-law you don’t know what to buy. They also have great veggies, wine tasting, live music, and a huge hot food selection including fresh seafood. The Market covers at least 3 blocks and a parking lot. Its worth the trip. Combining this with a overnight at Cannery Pier Hotel would be faboo.

Came out here a few years ago with the folks on one of their visits. Happened to be in town for the Sunday Market which we didn’t know about before we got there. Dad wanted to go back again on this visit, so we took the drive. Man, it takes a long time to get out to Astoria. I’m just saying is all. This is a good market. They’ve added a bunch of new things since the last time I was there. A whole new food section where you can get everything from gumbo, which my dad had, to smoked salmon chowder, which I had. Also a live band back there which is never a bad thing. Ok, maybe not never, but the band on while we were there wasn’t bad. There are tons of Farmer’s markets in Portland and you probably don’t necessarily need to drive out to Astoria to go to another one, but if you happen to be here on a Sunday, check it out.

Best farmers market I have ever been to. There was so much to see and eat! The kettle corn stand alone was amazing, something like 40 different flavors of kettle corn, including my favorite, SNICKERDOODLE. There was BBQ and sauce and beans and pickled veggies everywhere, not to mention really nice local art work and other things of the sort. Be prepared to do some walking, its pretty big.

The food court of the Astoria Sunday Market is a real treat. Amazing variety of very decent food. Not just kettle corn and ice cream(though they have that too!). One booth had just the best clam chowder(lots of clams and delightful little bits of bacon) and halibut and chips(oooh, how do they get the breading on the fish to be so perfect like that) . Another booth had elk burgers, buffalo burgers… and the best… broiled oysters on the shell. But can’t understand why on a gorgeous hot September afternoon they were closing down the market at 3:00pm. Before or after eating, take a tour of the Flavel House, or across the bay just past Warrenton, old Fort Stevens. We likes Astoria.
