Walking the Fremont Fest 2021.

There are a lot of street festivals in Portland, but Fremont Fest is one of my favorites (here’s my 2021 writeup). I love spending time on NE Fremont, whether it’s driving on the way to the Rocky Butte Farmer’s Market (with a stop at Rocky Butte Espresso Bar)l; walking up from the Rose City Golf Course to catch a smoothie at Fresh Love; stopping in at Peter’s Bar & Grill for their incredible food (and ice cream a couple doors down at Nico’s); or grabbing a latte at Prince Coffee after perusing the games at Puddletown.

When I first moved to Portland, I lived in the Hollywood District and would shop at the Hollywood Farmers Market on the weekends. It’s a great market—lots of different kinds of vendors selling produce, meats, prepared food, plants, and more, plus live music! It operates year-round, too. This weekend they are celebrating 25 years in business, and you can party with them this Saturday, May 28!
