    I love the Eugene Saturday market! It's one of the best markets if not the best in the area. There's a ton of stands and it's located outdoors in the warmer months. It definitely encompasses the funky culture and kind people of Eugene. They have art, jewelry, clothes, flowers, produce, and food carts. I would recommend checking out Brett Pendlebury's art stand and the Mac and cheese food truck. Definitely check this out, I believe it's every Saturday from 10-4?

    Artists abound the blocks of downtown Eugene each Saturday to bring their wares to the public. It's a real community of sorts, with people gathering to play music together on a corner, while others sit in the grass and enjoy a bite, maybe an edible. It is Eugene, so the love is plentiful here. Fresh blooms and produce are choice each weekend to those who show up early. Handmade woodwork, jewelry and stained glass catches my eye, but that's just a sampling of what's in store. Fancy a caricature to capture the moment? You're covered here. There is an information booth with a flyer to introduce the artists and provide a map of vendors. Safety measures were in place, with all required to be masked up, and sanitizer stations available, but I have to admit getting a bit uneasy as the corner crowded to allow a mass to cross the street. My daughter found a pair of earrings she liked, and I'm still kicking myself for not buying several gorgeous hand embroidered patches. Maybe they'll be there the next time I stop by.

    The O.G. Saturday Market! You may have heard of such markets in other cities (Portland comes to mind), but the Eugene Saturday Market is the oldest such market in the United States. You're welcome! Saturday Market is one of my favorite things in my hometown... probably the number one (besides my family and friends). I have been here countless times, and now that I live away from Eugene I always stop at the Saturday Market if I am home between April and October. You'll find a lot of folks wandering around, unless it's raining; thousands show up here each weekend. There are typically well over 100 vendors at the market, which spreads itself over three blocks surrounding 8th and Oak Streets. You'll find visual art; pottery; jewelry; books; services like tarot reading or henna application; and lots of delicious food booths. What's unique about this market is that everything is made by the vendor--you can't resell things here--and they are sold by the artisan themselves or a member of their family. My favorite items from Saturday Market over the years include a kaleidoscope that my mom gave me for my birthday over 15 years ago, and some silk cranes that I purchased to decorate my office. Also, my puzzle ring, although I lost it (and replaced it, and then lost the replacement), but the artist who made them passed away over a decade ago. You'll also find tie-dye as far as the eye can see; t-shirts, underwear, socks, onesies, bras, just about anything you could imagine. And every time I visit I have to have an Oregon Berry Cooler, my favorite drink at any market or festival in the area! There's also entertainment throughout the day. The official entertainment is near the food court, and you can learn what it is generally by visiting their website, getting on their mailing list, or checking out their social media. In addition to the official entertainment, you'll find buskers throughout the market: I've come across violinists, singers, didgeridoo players, and--get this--even a pianist playing an upright piano on the corner of 8th & W. Park. There's no entry fee to the Saturday Market, and even if you don't buy anything it's fun to people watch. Don't be surprised if you see a shirtless woman, and though it should go without saying, don't take pictures if you do. The farmer's market is also along these blocks, across the street on Saturdays. Parking is not available along the streets here during the market but you will find that the parking garage at 8th & Willamette is free.

    We have loved the Saturday market since we moved to Eugene! It's such an easy way to shop local and it's one of my favorite places to be on a Saturday!!

    One of the coolest Saturday markets around with all types of vendors, music, food artisans, artists and craft persons. Vendors booths are set up downtown along multiple blocks in the 5th to 8th Avenue area. Depending on what it is - determines where within the market the vendors set up. A very nice growers/farmers market area where organic local and sustainable are to norm. Everything under mother sun pretty much is there. Pasture raised, sustainable meats, local small batch organic cheeses, fresh craft baked goods, fresh harvest pressed juices, along with rows and rows of seasonal organic local fruits and vegetables. Artisans and artists booths area across the street - glass, jewelry, textiles, weaving, woodworkers, sculptors, painters, print makers and more. All kinds of different artisans here, most reasonably priced. Across the other street - an International Foods court area with some tables and chairs, along with a covered stage - musicians, performance artists, spoken word it varies from Saturday to Saturday. A great community market, where you can easily spend hours walking, shopping, eating and enjoying some of the best the area had to offer. 4.5 stars - rounded up for the excellent fresh baked craft pastries. 00434

    It was my first visit in Eugene and I read about the Saturday Market from the travel guide. It was certainly one of the highlights of my short visit to Eugene. I should admit that my main reason going was to do food hunting..lol.. and geez I was a HAPPY and SATISFIED hunter!! I had the Pad Thai from the Bangkok Grill. It was nothing like the Pad Thai I've ever tasted, I wouldn't call this one a "pad thai"..but it definitely has a great flavor and taste. I loved the peanut sauce that they poured on top of the noodles. I wish there was more meat/tofu in it though. The price was $5.50 + $.25 for the peanut sauce. I also bought a chicken tamales from Sara's Tamales...I could say it was the best tamales I've ever had. It was not cheap though.. I ordered just the tamales ala carte...for $3.75 a piece...(small)..but the "mild red sauce" condiment was a BOMB!!!! My BF had Taco Salad from Saritza's Mexican Food...it was YUMMY.. I love the crispy taco bowl...and the salad itself was wonderful too. My BF is Mexican and he also thought it was good. $6.50 for a taco salad...market price I guess. We also shared a slice of pepperoni pizza from Renaissance's pizza for under $3 (forgot the exact price) and TOFU cheesecake from Tofu Palace for $4. Aaahh.. never had a Tofu cheesecake and it certainly had a GREAT taste and HEALTHY!!!! I also sampled their tofu dipped... yummmmm..... I wish I could take them home with me!!! The farmers market accross the street was also WONDERFUL!!! We bought a yummy pecan pie and Concord grapes (it's gummy and chewy) as well as some honey sticks.. ahahah...yes.. we were hungry that day!!! There were a lot of other interesting stuff at the market..but as I mentioned I was "food hunting" so.. I didnt really care much about the other stuff.. I will certainly go to the Saturday Market again when I visit Eugene in the future.

Casey Neill and his Norway Rats infested the place, occupying many holes stubbornly, much to our delight and ultimate benefit. For 20-plus years I've been making the pilgrimage to Eugene every few years (usually on the occasion of PIELC) -- and without fail, at some point we would end up at Sam Bond's Garage. But this year -- no Sam Bond's. It's turned into the Whit franchise of a pizza place, apparently. (No disrespect to their pizza. It's delicious.) But. What happened to my favorite bar/music spot in Eugene?? Such an unspeakable loss, if this venue is actually permanently closed. I will remain hopeful that it will be reborn... somewhere else? But if not: RIP Sam Bond's Garage. We, from near and far, loved you. Thank you for the good times you gave us all.

The food options are great. Sandwiches, hummus plate, soft pretzel, soup, and slices of pizza. Vegan and meat options and something for everyone. We've seen some great music here sitting at a table and dancing up front. There's a nice area outside that's dominated by smokers, but to each their own. We just love catching a show here!

    Went to the goth night (ghost something?) tonight and it was a blast. The bar is gothic style too…read moreso it's marvelous. I heard it's usually an alternative / low key queer bar, more like mixed to me, which is nice. I know they recently made a change about free events turning into free with a drink purchase, which is reasonable! I've been low to no income, to where $10 is a splurge for me. I never got to go to a free event, but if I can't afford it I just don't go! Gotta keep the lights on, and $5 for a goth night was perfect for me. I had so much fun, the music was sweet and the outdoor area was nice too. The dance floor is small- kinda as big as their bathroom- but very accommodating, everyone seemed to have space to do their own thing. The one thing that did puzzle me is that they had a sign on the bathroom that said woman and then said it was all genders. I feel like maybe just taking the woman sign off would be simple enough. The message seems to just be "no urinal". The bathrooms are clean and plenty of stalls though!! I can't say anything about the drinks or food this time around, just the vibes which are great :) Lots of variety of events here, I'm sure I'll be back!

The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start.

Then, less than a week before the event, they admitted they had double-booked the date because they put it on the wrong day in their calendar. That's fine. Sometimes things like that just happen. Instead of making it right, they wanted the band that booked first to move their show to 2:00 in the afternoon on a Thursday. That's ridiculous. People weren't traveling to Eugene to watch an afternoon set while they're at work. The band tried to work with them. They suggested combining the shows, asked to talk it through, and then got ignored. After that, when people started calling out how badly this was handled, the response from the venue wasn't an apology--it was telling people to "eat shit." That's honestly what changed this from a scheduling mistake into a venue I don't want to support. Everyone screws up sometimes. Most businesses own it and try to fix it. Campbell Club chose to insult the very people who were trying to bring customers through their doors. If you're planning to travel for a show here, I'd think twice. I won't be making that mistake again. Also-- their Instagram says they are a nonprofit organization, it's not.

Crust nice and crunchy with so much topping the crust had a hard time supporting it when you picked it up to eat. The previous yelp reviews said they waited forever for food. I found the service above average. The restaurant set up is very much like a Lyons's hall. A bar with lots of tables around randomly and of various sizes. So I walked to the bar to find out if I needed to be seated or just help myself. The bartender stated to sit anywhere I wanted. I told her I was interested in food as well so she handed me a menu. I asked if I needed to come to the bar to order and was told I would be waited on. BC of previous reviews I timed stuff. 3 min after sitting at a random table I was acknowledged and told she would be right back. 1 min later she was asking what I wanted to eat and if I wanted anything to drink.

Until this past weekend, I hadn't been to a program at their own year-round space that's been here for 25 years or so now. (But I don't feel too bad about that since my sister, who's lived here all her life, has only been once.) Anyway, I brought my toddler to their Magical Moombah show, which is designed specifically for children. We had a lot of fun! It was held in the Jacqua concert hall. The show was kind of variety/vaudeville in style; this one was called Come Sail Away, and it had a loose story made up that was connected by pre-existing songs that matched the theme. There were several time when they invited the kids up to participate--a dance party on stage, a couple of joke breaks, a contest or two, and more. It was a great way to let the kids be involved, and even the littlest kids had an opportunity to join in (my two year old was insistent on making her stage debut, though I think she was a bit shy when she was up there dancing with everyone). They hold this program each quarter and I'll definitely be looking for it next time we're home to visit. They also host concerts, musicals, and other programming. There are a couple of performance spaces, the concert hall being the main one and then recital space. The Shedd is also home to a music school, which seems to take place in the newer wing, where students can take private or group lessons. I will say that their website is really frustrating--almost every link would take me to their calendar, even if I was clicking on Faculty or Welcome--so I'm not sure what that's about so I'd suggest just calling if you have questions. There's a fee if you purchase tickets online (and maybe if you purchase in person with a credit card); in person with cash there's no fee. They have a good parking arrangement with the city that allows for free parking on evenings and weekends in the Lane County lot. There's also parking directly behind their north entrance (I'm not sure if that's the city lot or not, but I don't think so). The lot we parked in was kind of frustrating because almost every spot was marked as compact, and in the year 2026 even in Eugene most people have an SUV or minivan or something, and places just need to stop making most of their parking for compact cars. Some fun facts: Ginevra Ralph, who co-founded the Shedd, is the great-granddaughter of John G. Shedd (namesake of Chicago's Shedd Aquarium in addition to this performing arts center). The Shedd is located in what was once the First Baptist Church in Eugene, one of the largest in the city if not the largest at the time. Also, Marin Alsop, a conductor of international renown, was the co-conducted the Eugene Symphony and the Oregon Festival of American Music early in her career. The Shedd really does have a storied history and lots of great things to come.

Sometimes I can't handle going to whole concerts and going through security lines. So I like the option to just come and enjoy the ambiance for a little while. It's just very accessible, very local, fantastic outdoor venues and a jewel of the city of Eugene. If you haven't seen a show at Cuthbert, you are missing out big time.

    We've been going to cuthbert for years, but last night will be our last time! We perused the…read moreinternet to find Tony Bahama chairs are now banned, so we took our low beach chairs. After standing in line for an hour, we were told the seats on said chairs were too tall at 6", so had to cut through lines to get to a certain tent to have the confiscated. Fortunately they have loaner chairs which was the only plus of this venue. Then we find the choices of food vendors was very slim, causing the lines to be very long. We usually place our seats up high on the slight grade, knowing people like to stand t/o the concerts down low. Last night, it didn't matter as everyone thought it was ok to stand, blocking the view of many people who could not stand due to age, etc. I think the whole venue was mismanaged. More entry gates, food vendors, and encouragement for patrons to remain seated t/o any concert NEED to be utilized.
