Downtown Saturday Market strives to provide the Anchorage community
and its visitors with a summer weekly attraction featuring a large variety of
Alaskan arts and crafts, food and imports at reasonable prices, for the
purpose of enhancing the quality of life of Anchorage residents, visitors
and vendors, by doing so, enhancing the reputation of Anchorage; by
nature of a carnival or fair, designed for the enjoyment of adults and
children of all ages (“the Intended Atmosphere and Use”); to provide
Vendors with a low cost, premier location which affords them an
opportunity to showcase and display their products to a broad base of
consumers and potential consumers, both local and long distance, and
which best positions them to be successful; and, to make productive use
on Saturdays of Anchorage’s downtown parking facilities.
This mission statement (The “Downtown Saturday Market Mission”) and
the Intended Atmosphere and Use are the primary purposes of
Downtown Saturday Market. In the interest of the Market and its
participants, any other purpose, advantage, or benefit is secondary and is
subordinate to the primary purposes.

The Anchorage Downtown Saturday Market was
established by the Municipality of Anchorage Parking Authority in 1992,
and consisted of about 2 dozen vendors. Its goal was to provide a
conveniently located, family oriented, open air market where Alaska
residents and visitors alike could browse, shop and enjoy the beautiful
Alaska summer season.
During the 2003 season, over 300 vendors will offer Alaska's largest
variety of goods including fresh Alaska Grown produce, fresh seafood
from local waters, a wide variety of foods to eat at the Market or to take
home, spectacular and unique works of art, handmade crafts and gifts by
Alaskan artisans, collectibles, antiques and so much more!
Located in the parking lot at 3rd & E Streets (across from the Hilton Hotel)
in downtown Anchorage, the Saturday Market grounds overlook scenic
Ship Creek and Cook Inlet.
Please join us during
the 2005 season to
celebrate the Saturday
Market's 13th
Anniversary!
