== History ==
The Eugene Saturday Market first opened on May 9, 1970 with 29 vendors. It was located on city property adjacent to a city-owned parking structure in downtown Eugene. Each vendor paid $1 to participate. On the opening Saturday, it rained all day. Nevertheless, the market was successful enough that the Eugene City Council agreed to allow the hippies to continue using the site.〔("Downtown market trial OK’d" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 28 April 1970, p. 9B.〕〔Bryerton, Gene, ("New outdoor mart has damp opening" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 10 May 1970.〕〔("Saturday market to begin" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 5 June 1970.〕〔Bryerton, Gene, ("Saturday Market in Overpark area establishes some rules" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 20 September 1970.〕 More vendors joined the market as the Christmas holiday approached. The first season closed on the Saturday before Christmas with about one hundred vendors crowding into the market area.〔("Sidewalk Market Closes Saturday" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 18 December 1970.〕〔Clark, C. A., ("The Eugene Saturday Market" ), ''Discover Eugene'' (on-line magazine), ''www.discovereugene.com'', Eugene, Oregon, 28 April 2009.〕
At the end of the first season, established businesses adjacent to the Saturday Market venue petitioned the city to close or move the market. Lane County commissioners offered a county-owned plaza,〔("New opening of Market due June 19" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 10 June 1971.〕〔Baker, Ann, (Market opens at new site” ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 20 June 1971.〕 the Park Blocks,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Park Blocks Master Plan )〕 in front of the county courthouse for the market on condition that the Saturday market incorporate and secure liability insurance. As a result, the Eugene Saturday Market was officially established.〔 This arrangement with Lane County allowed the use of the Park Blocks only during the summer months. In the fall, the vendors were required to move to the upper level of a county-owned parking structure,〔Paseman, Llyod, ("Saturday Market decides to move" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 26 August 1971.〕 known as the "butterfly lot",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Modernism Context for Eugene: Government ) 〕 across the street from the Park Blocks. The Eugene Saturday Market continued to operate in those two locations until the end of the 1982 season.〔("Market move a good one" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 2 December 1982.〕
Over time, the Saturday markets held in the parking structure lost their customer base. As the number of vendors dwindled, the Saturday Market board of directors began working with the City of Eugene and Lane County officials to find a new venue. In April 1983, the Eugene Saturday Market was relocated to a two-block park area at the intersection of Oak Street and 8th Avenue. This new venue was an attractive setting and had enough space for 100 to 125 vendors. It was also centrally located in the downtown areas.〔 Over the years, this has helped attract people to the market. In 2006, the City of Eugene prepared a master plan for the Park Block area. The plan included the Saturday Market as an important element in the area's long-term development.〔(“Executive Summary” ), Eugene Park Block Master Plan, City of Eugene, Eugene, Oregon, October 2006.〕 Today, the Eugene Saturday Market is the oldest continuously operating weekly open-air crafts market in the United States.〔〔Litwin, Kevin, "Eugene’s Saturday Market Features Arts, Crafts, Produce", ''Images Eugene'', Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, Eugene, Oregon, 2009〕〔("Eugene Saturday Market" ), Travel Oregon, Oregon Tourism Commission, ''www.traveloregon.com'', Salem, Oregon, 2009.〕〔Levy, Nat, ("Eugene’s Saturday Market makes annual return to downtown today" ), ''The Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 4 April 2009.〕 It inspired the creation of a similar market in Portland, which took the same name, the Portland Saturday Market, and has been in operation since 1974.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Portland Saturday Market )〕
