The much-loved Talent Artisans & Growers Evening Markets are back for summer 2025! Now hosted by the Talent Business Alliance, in partnership with Amanda Grove of the Golden Grove Collective, this monthly event will once again bring creativity, connection, and community celebration to the heart of downtown Talent, Oregon.
The markets will take place on the fourth Fridays of each month—May 23, June 27, July 25, and August 22—from 5:00 PM to sunset at Old Town Park, located just across from the Talent City Hall.
These family-friendly summer evenings highlight everything that makes Talent shine:
-
Fresh produce from local farmers and growers
-
Handmade goods from regional artisans and makers
-
Tasty bites from food trucks and nearby eateries
-
Live music from talented local performers
In addition to the market festivities, downtown businesses will be joining in with special events of their own—art openings, market specials, extended hours, and added entertainment—to create a full evening of experiences for residents and visitors alike.
“We are incredibly honored to carry forward the legacy of the Talent Evening Markets,” said Darby Ayers-Flood, Executive Director of the Talent Business Alliance. “This event is not just a market—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and local resilience.”
Organizers extend heartfelt thanks to previous coordinators and volunteers who have built and sustained this cherished tradition. Their commitment laid the foundation for this beloved seasonal gathering.
Join us under the summer skies to support local talent, savor fresh flavors, and celebrate what makes Talent truly special. Let’s make this summer one to remember.
