HAT PEOPLE TOUR 2025

Our public events this year will be:

Portland Saturday Market ~ March 2025. We will be guest vendors at this market all Saturdays in March. (At various times PSM has been Saturday/Sunday, it is currently a Saturday only market.) We will return to this market for the first two Saturdays in November. Our main venue in this area is Vancouver Farmer’s Market, 20 minutes north of Portland.

Lithia Artisans Market of Ashland ~ Saturdays and Sundays, Mid-March through October. We will be here various weekends, if you want to double check our status on a given weekend just contact us ahead of time. If you cannot connect with us at Lithia Market, but you are in Southern Oregon and want to purchase hats, please contact us to make a studio appointment.

Roseburg Spring Fair ~ 3/28-30. Southern Oregon’s sweet, sleepy, grassroots event. Original as Douglas Fir Trees. This is our anniversary event, Hat People started here way back in 1978.

Eugene Saturday Market ~ 4/5, 4/12, & 4/19. This venue runs Saturdays only, through mid November. We will participate in this event various dates throughout the year.

Vancouver Farmers Market ~ 4/5-6 & 4/12-13. We will be at most dates of this market, Saturdays and Sundays, April through October. It is just 20 minutes north of Portland, framing a city park that is about 15 blocks from the I-5 bridge. Many great artists, food booths, a spectacular place to do your grocery shopping, and 3 blocks from a lovely stroll along the Columbia River.

Eugene Saturday Market ~ 4/19.

Vancouver Farmers Market ~ 4/26-27, 5/3-4, 5/10-11, & 5/17-18.

Eugene Saturday Market ~ 6/21.

Vancouver Farmers Market ~ 6/28-29 & 7/5-6.

Oregon Country Fair ~ 7/11-13. This is our biggest event of the year, held on a massive piece of private land with at least 14 stages and endless parades. We are booth number 238, near the Main Stage Area, we hope to see you emerge from the crowd. Friday of The Fair is your best time (any given year) for specifically shopping the Inspired Designs / Specialty Hats of Hat People. If we have them, we’ll have them then, and they may sell out quickly. Check out www.oregoncountryfair.org for important details on attending this event.

Arcata North Country Fair ~ 9/20-21. We have been going to this event for decades and it is one of our favorites. The parades, the town, the production, the REDWOODS! You name it, plenty well worth the journey.

Vancouver Farmers Market ~ 9/27-28, 10/4-5, & 10/11-12.

Eugene Saturday Market ~ 10/18. Last Saturday of the year at ESM! But we will be in Eugene for the Eugene Holiday Market Christmas Season.

Vancouver Farmers Market ~ 10/25-26. Last weekend of the year at VFM! Just to know, this market will continue through the  winter without us, as a Saturday only event.

Portland Saturday Market ~ 11/1 & 11/8.

Lithia Artisans Market of Ashland Christmas Season ~ November / December dates are yet to be determined. Events will take place at the Oak Street Ashland Armory and the Pacific Highway Medford Armory.

Eugene Holiday Market ~ Weekends plus various dates, mid November through Christmas Eve at the Lane County Fairgrounds. We will participate in all dates of this event. If you are unfamiliar with this indoor event and you are within three hours drive of it, please consider showing up to do some of your Winter Holidays gift shopping. It is very large, although with focus I think you could see everything in one day, and a certain amount of the presenters change weekly. Free admission, live music, food booths, and more than a few awe-inspiring artists. If you are coming in from out of town, I recommend an adventure that looks something like this: go to Eugene’s Morning Glory Cafe for breakfast at 8 AM, arrive at Holiday Market when the doors open at 10 AM, plan to stay all day.

Our online presence is stronger than ever, please explore all the avenues on our websites. This too is a great way to experience our presentation and purchase our hats.
