Made in Tucson Market

So happy that I got to attend this food and craft festival on this gorgeous 80 degree December day here in Tucson. I love going to these types of events.All the food trucks and stalls are in a different area. Communal tables are set up as well. The lines are long but worth the wait. We got to try a Mexican hot dog with Frito chips on top, killer coffee and a Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet. This was the perfect place for me to buy some souvenirs to bring back. And of course I got some goodies for myself. My son got a small tub of homemade salsa. Tons of booths to explore. I highly recommend. Make sure to wear tons of sunscreen.

This is one of my favorite local markets. I always go here to get unique gifts for the holidays. They also have amazing food trucks during the market.If you happen to be in the area please don't miss it!

Probably my favorite market/fair of all the ones hosted in Tucson. Plenty of unique crafts/clothes/jewelry (probably just over a hundred vendors in all?) and more than a dozen food trucks. Parking is the only challenge. Also it is only for one day. We really like the fact that these are all local artists.

Made in Tucson Market is one of the best places to buy a wide range of items from some incredible local artists. Yesterday we managed to pick up a botanical dyed shirt from Trevor the owner of Sonoran Witch Boy, the most beautiful caramels made by Shazieh of Agave Pantry, the most awesome Knit Cactus from Mona of Noodle Knits, and delicious granola from April of Better Than Provisions. There's such a wide variety of items with 120+ local vendors and it's always the best time meeting the people behind the product! It's my go to market for holiday gifts, we are so lucky to have Made In Tucson Market.

Nice to have all local artisans represented and sharing their creative pieces. This fair has continued to expand increasing the variety and type of artists and artwork. Highly recommend for locals and visitors. And it's free to attend.

Support Local!! The market was so much larger this year which included food trucks. There were beautiful handmade leather goods, jewelry, soaps, candles, art, pottery and baked goods just to name a few of the vendors. It's great to support local artisans and I look forward to attending every year.

I love the Made in Tucson Market! I've shopped there every year during the holidays. I was looking forward to the Spring market but it was cancelled due to Covid-19. The good news is that that they are hosting a virtual version of the market on line! If you have not attended the Made in Tucson Market before, I highly recommend adding it to your future list. It's a great way to connect with a variety of local makers and artists. I've discovered so many lovely jewelers, artists, soap makers, herbalists, clothing, hat makers and more from attending this market over the last couple of years. I supported the virtual Made in Tucson Market by perusing the online marketplace and looking through the different categories. I ordered some stickers to include in snail mail I am sending my friends and family. They have over 120 local vendors to to peruse. They have the full list organized by category which I found very helpful. I love the online experience because I've dedicated time to browse through different categories at my own pace and have found more vendors than I normally would connect with in real life since the markets can get so busy that sometimes I skip over booths.
