Fourth of July First Friday Pop-Up Vendor Market (click here for vendor application) - Join us on our third season of the Pop-Up Vendor Markets.
This Fourth of July, the Reedsport First Friday Vendor Market is switching things up. Vendors will line up the sidewalks on Highway 38 from 10 am to 4 pm. We are moving the market to daytime hours (for July only) so that you can have plenty of time to get to a nearby fireworks display. Our downtown area is celebrating the fourth with: ** Live Music ~ Boon Doc Daddy’s will have you rocking & rolling from 11 am to 2 pm. They will be jamming outside Stillwagon Distillery’s Tiki Bar at 464 Winchester Avenue. There will be tables and chairs for you to take a break ~ but we think instead you will be dancing in the streets. ** Artisans from Reedsport and nearby communities will line up the sidewalks in our Historic Old Town. Within walking distance, you will find unique shops and distinctive restaurants. Enjoy local flavors at the downtown brewery or the distillery ~ across the street from each other. ** Grab a bite to eat from your favorite restaurant and bring it to the music area. Salty Dogs is setting up in the area for your convenience. Visit vendor booths filled with hand-crafted items including hand-blown glass, jewelry, furniture, birdhouses, beach & driftwood art, crochet items, bath & body products, and so much more. NEW THIS SEASON ~ Calling All Garden Growers! Do you have a surplus in your garden? Come vend with us! We are looking for vendors who would like to sell their homegrown herbs, flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Vendor spaces are free. Music on Main is part of the First Friday Vendor Market. Come out and join us for live music performances. Enjoy a great time listening, singing, and dancing to music from great bands. We are set up on Hwy 38 between 4th & 5th Streets. Looking to spend the weekend, Reedsport has nearby motels, camping, and RV sites. Enjoy the weekend exploring the area, there is something for everyone!
