The inaugural season of the Pearl District Culinary Farmers Market wraps up in just two weeks, and what a first year it’s been!

For 19 weeks, our vendors took a chance on the Pearl. Our volunteers showed up every single Sunday. Kimiko Matsuda and her team built something special: chefs, farmers, makers and live music, all in one place. And you showed up.

Together, we brought back an energy the Pearl hasn’t felt in years. Neighbors meeting neighbors. Families lingering. Streets full of life again. Finish strong with us.

Come out for these final two markets, Oct 18th and Oct 25th.

Bring friends and family. Every new face matters.

Shop our vendors. They believed in the Pearl before it was a sure thing.

Celebrate what we built. This was yours as much as ours.

🌎🚨 Oregon, are you ready to SHAKE OUT?

Earthquakes don't wait until you're ready, but you can practice what to do when one strikes!

📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
⏰ 10:15 a.m. (local time)
📍 Wherever you are!

Join millions of people around the world for the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill! Whether you're at home, school or work, take a minute to practice three potentially lifesaving actions:

👇 DROP to your hands and knees.

Business neighbors, this one's for you. 🍷

Join the PDNA Business Support Committee for our Quarterly Happy Hour on Wednesday, October 14, 4–5:30 PM, hosted by Chantique Med Spa at 1255 NW 9th Ave, Unit 19.

Meet fellow Pearl business owners. Swap ideas. Make a few new friends.

🥂 Drinks poured by Spin the Bottle PDX
🍤 Appetizers sponsored by Sow Roofing
🎁 Special offers for everyone who attends

Chantique Med Spa founder Paige Haley, FNP-BC, already lived in the Pearl when she opened her practice here. She chose this neighborhood because local businesses here look out for each other. Come see what that looks like in person.

Street parking and nearby garages make it easy. The entrance is at street level on the corner.
