Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Phoenix, Arizona

Statewide annual fair with commercial/craft and food vendor programs

Operating year-round in downtown Phoenix, Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market runs Saturdays (8am–1pm October–May; 8am–noon June–September) and brings together 80–130+ local vendors including produce farmers, prepared food, meat, artisans, and value-added producers. Operated by nonprofit Community Food Connections since 2005, the market prioritizes Arizona-sourced products—no mass-produced goods. All vendors pay a $120 annual membership fee plus 10% sales commission (5% for approved agriculture growers). Food vendors need general liability insurance ($1M/$2M), health permits, tax ID, and resale license as required by product type. Priority given to agricultural vendors; prepared food, artisan, and community vendors also welcome. Cancellation fees and strict attendance rules apply; failure to notify on three+ occasions forfeits booth space for the season.
