The Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace is a weekly summer outdoor festival and farmers’ market in downtown Hillsboro Presented by community volunteers and supporters for the community. A private non-profit organization, the Marketplace is free to the public and takes place every Tuesday evening during the summer (June – August). The market originated in 1998 to bring people to Historic Downtown Hillsboro while major sidewalk renovations might have otherwise kept customer away from downtown businesses. It also provided local farmers and crafters another market venue for selling their goods. The event was embraced by the community, and has become a favorite summertime tradition for people of all ages and walks of life.
