Holiday Marketplace

We welcome a variety of local businesses as vendors to showcase their holiday- or gift-themed products and services. The Holiday Festival is a family event and vendor merchandise must be appropriate for this target audience. The event draws as many as 10,000 people throughout the day, most of whom find their way to the Marketplace.

Thank you to our local community for your support! Registration is now open for 2025. Please check out our incredible marketplace vendors below.

Marketplace Date & Time:

Saturday 11/22/25, 10AM – 5:30PM (or later)

Set-Up: Saturday 11/22/25, 7AM – 9:30AM

Location: Marketplace Street in Desert Foothills Park - 15637 S. Marketplace NE, Phoenix, AZ 85048

The Marketplace Street Fair is a beloved highlight of the annual Holiday Festival each November. A shopper’s paradise, the Marketplace is home to a wide variety of local vendors offering unique, mostly handmade, wares and services. The Marketplace is open from 10 AM to 5 PM, with many vendors choosing to extend into the evening hours. Our vendors are encouraged to include holiday-themed merchandise and services to help you kick off your gifting season.

So mark your calendar and grab your credit card as you launch your holiday shopping, Ahwatukee-style. Thank you for supporting local business!

Rules, Regulations and Guidelines

Please carefully and thoroughly read and review the LUA Holiday Marketplace Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines before submitting your application. All vendors must abide by ALL items listed in the document linked below. If your application is accepted and you do not abide by these rules, you will be asked to leave the holiday market and will not receive a refund for your vendor application.

READ RULES HERE

Please complete the form below. A committee board member will contact you to discuss next steps and payment information.

Local Services: This year, we are allowing some area service-based businesses to have a presence at the festival. Located in their own space in the park, these vendors will follow the same guidelines as other marketplace vendors. Examples in this space could be local dentists, chiropractors, roofing, or banks.

Arts and Crafts: We are looking for unique, handmade items (especially holiday-themed) for our two primary marketplace locations: Marketplace Way and Santa’s Village (Kid/family focused). (Kid areas can be craft focused, toys/light ups/ornaments, etc.)

Items do not have to be 100% homemade but they must be original and customized in some way. We want to create a “boutique” market with unique items not found elsewhere. If you believe your items fit into this category but are not handmade, please e-mail kimberly@lightupahwatukee.org with pictures or social media links.
