Astoria Sunday Market

Hosted by the Astoria Uppertown Business Association, Astoria Sunday Market stretches along 12th Street in downtown Astoria and brings together fresh produce, local arts and crafts, food, music, and more in a downtown street market format. The market began in 2000 and now covers four city blocks between Marine Drive and Exchange Street, with up to 150 vendors each week. That long footprint shapes the visit: this is a market built for wandering, with vendor booths, a food court, and weekly entertainment all folded into the center of historic downtown.

Why it matters locally

Since 2000, Astoria Sunday Market has occupied four city blocks in historic downtown Astoria, giving the market a fixed place in the city’s seasonal rhythm from Mother’s Day into October. Its mix is explicitly local in origin: the market’s vendors offer products that are hand-crafted, grown, created, or gathered by the farmers, craftspeople, and artisans who sell there. The market also ties food access directly to shopping through SNAP and EBT, Double Up Food Bucks, and FDNP and WIC participation, with details available at the info booth. Weekly music on the food court stage adds another layer of local programming to the Sunday market day.

What you'll find there

The strongest through-line here is breadth rather than a narrow farm-only lineup: the market combines food, crafts, and entertainment across a four-block downtown setup, with up to 150 vendors in the weekly mix. The vendor map is updated weekly by Friday, and the directory covers approved 2026 vendors.

• -Browse locally made arts and crafts alongside fresh produce and prepared food from the market’s weekly vendors.
• -Find products that are hand-crafted, grown, created, or gathered by the farmers, craftspeople, and artisans selling on site.
• -Look for a food court with regional entertainment as part of the market layout.

The event calendar also includes ASM Kids Club, plus weekly musical artists performing on the food court stage. A distinct thread at Astoria Sunday Market is how music is woven into the market route rather than treated as an extra. The market features musical artists each week on the food court stage, so live performance is built into the Sunday layout. The season’s lineup moves across styles and scales: The Derry Aires bring traditional Irish tunes on June 21, Brownsmead Flats play “Crabgrass” bluegrass with a maritime flavor on July 12 and again on August 30, and Upper Left Coast Standard is described as a group of Oregon Coast jazz musicians based out of Astoria on September 20. Other dates lean folk, blues, and Americana, from Richie + Chris on May 31 to Youngs Bay Blues Band on September 13 and Hillfolk Noir on September 27. That weekly rotation gives the market a changing soundtrack across the season without changing the basic Sunday structure.

Know before you go

The layout runs along 12th Street from Marine Drive to Exchange Street, so arrival and parking work a little differently than at a single-lot market. Street parking is typically ample within three blocks, and additional parking lots are available at the Sunset Empire Transit District at 10th and Marine. If you are staying in a hotel, the River Walk and Astoria Trolley are both suggested ways to reach 12th Street and keep the outing moving into other parts of town afterward. Dogs are welcome. The market’s weekly vendor map is updated by the beginning of the day on Friday, which helps if you want to see who will be there and where they will be set up before Sunday.

Payments & SNAP

Astoria Sunday Market accepts SNAP and EBT, and it matches up to $20 through Double Up Food Bucks. Many farmers also accept Farm Direct Nutrition Program and WIC checks, with food access program details available at the market info booth.
