Phoestivus 2023
The best holiday market in Phoenix

2022 was a year of transition for the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market and Phoestivus. We were in a brand new space with many brand new faces joining our holiday celebration. Even in our new digs, there was nothing but love buzzing through the cold winter air. Thank you to everyone from around the Valley who bundled up to join us - you, Phreddie The Yeti, our unforgettable vendors, amazing volunteers, and stupendous sponsors! You’ve made this event a mainstay in downtown Phoenix and our hearts!
