In partnership with the Woodstock PTA, the Portland Mini Makers Market is more than just a shopping event -- it's a celebration of youth creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit. Families are invited to explore a vibrant marketplace filled with original art, handmade gifts, decor, and more -- all crafted by junior artisans.

For parents, this is a chance to encourage your child to share their talents, connect with other young makers, and gain valuable skills in creativity and entrepreneurship. Whether your child loves painting, crafting, or designing, the Mini Makers Market offers them a stage to shine.

Applications are open through January 18, 2026. Don't miss the opportunity to support your child's journey as a maker -- and to shop local, youth-powered creations that make our community proud! This year's Mini Makers Market will be Saturday, February 28, 11 am - 2 pm.
