Talent Business Alliance and Golden Grove Collective Announce Four-Night Summer Market Series in Downtown Talent



TALENT, OR - The Talent Business Alliance and Golden Grove Collective are proud to announce the return of the beloved Talent Artisans & Growers Evening Markets for the 2026 season. The popular outdoor markets will be held on the 4th Friday of each month, May through August, from 5pm to sunset at Old Town Park, located at the corner of Main Street and John Street in downtown Talent.


2026 Market Dates:

  • Friday, May 22

  • Friday, June 26

  • Friday, July 24

  • Friday, August 28


These markets continue to serve as a vibrant community event where residents can shop from a wide range of locally produced goods and fresh produce, and dine from a rotating selection of local food trucks, all in the heart of downtown Talent.


The markets are once again being coordinated by Amanda Grove of the Golden Grove Collective in coordination with the Talent Business Alliance. "These markets are designed to create a community space where we can connect and support our local businesses, while also offering unique, high-quality goods and locally grown produce," said Grove. "We can't wait to see everyone this spring and summer."


The 2025 season marked a revitalization of the Talent Artisans & Growers Markets, made possible by the dedication of artisan vendors, local farmers, musicians, and the community members who showed up in support. The Talent Business Alliance looks forward to building on that momentum in 2026.


Vendor applications are now open for the 2026 season at the Talent Business Alliance website. Vendors are invited to apply under one of three categories: Artisan, Food Truck, or Farmer/Grower.


Beyond the market itself, the events are designed to draw visitors into the heart of downtown Talent, encouraging foot traffic that benefits the surrounding shops, restaurants, and businesses on market nights and beyond.


"The Talent Evening Markets are a powerful driver for our downtown economy. Every market brings new visitors into the heart of Talent, and that energy ripples out to our local shops, restaurants, and businesses. The Talent Business Alliance is proud to help make that happen." -Darby Ayers-Flood, Executive Director, Talent Business Alliance
