On Saturday, December 13th, 2025, Rhythm Traders will join forces with Five Star Guitars and Oregon Skate Swap to transform Lloyd Center into a Musician’s Market this holiday season. More than 4,000 people attended the last swap, and with holiday traffic, the ice rink, a card collector show, and the mall crawl all happening the same day, this year’s crowd will be even bigger. Plus, cool gear, great prices, giveaways and free stuff.

One Day Only: Portland’s Creative Marketplace Built by Musicians, for Everyone! This market is built by musicians — but not just about music. There will be dozens of vendors with boutique instruments, handcrafted items and lots of holiday cheer. We will be joined by Tim Ennis from Cymbal & Gong LLC showing off some amazing handcrafted cymbals from Turkey with special holiday pricing just for this event. Also stocking stuffers and goodies for sale, and we will be raffling items all day including a grand prize Remo Mondo djembe. Know an aspiring drummer? We’ll be offering FREE 5 Minute Drum Lessons with Mark Powers from Floater. Pro Tip: we’ll also be handing out special savings coupons valid toward nearly anything at Rhythm Traders. So if you’re thinking of a big purchase this season, come grab one on December 13 th from Noon-7 pm at Lloyd Center as we celebrate music, art, and culture.

See you there!
