Last weekend, we had the chance to experience the Merchantile Market held at the Scottsdale Civic Center and it was such a great time!
The Merchantile Market features the work of many local creators and artists and the offerings were so creative and unique. As we entered, there was live music and hundreds of people relaxing on the lawn and enjoying the sunny day. There were multiple food trucks and snack and drink vendors along the outside and the crowd was definitely enjoying all of the offerings!
We grabbed some drinks and started to explore the vendor booths. There were a lot of jewelry vendors, including a few permanent jewelry companies. We also saw some great candles and personal care items, kids’ gear, pet toys and gear, journals and stickers, kitchen decor and so much more.
The market is low-key so unless they are busy, you are able to chat with the creators or their employees to learn more. We enjoyed the Our Family Designs booth where they had tons of creative 3-D printed fidget toys, jewelry, bags and more. The Beach on 32nd featured a creative selection of mixed-media jewelry and apparel. I wish I had grabbed more cards along the way as there were so many vendors I enjoyed…
There are two more markets left until the summer pause. The “Spring Swing” market takes place on March 8th and the final market of the season, “Spring Soiree” is on April 5th. If you have not had a chance to experience the market in person, I highly encourage you to spend an afternoon exploring it.
And, if you cannot make it to the next two events, The Merchantile has three storefront locations that feature various makers year-round. There are two locations in Scottsdale and one in Phoenix.
