The famously quirky holiday market Phoestivus, presented by Community Food Connections, is back for its 16th year, and this time with a brand-new location and a one-night-only celebration.

Holiday shoppers can join the fun on Friday, Dec. 12, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Arizona Center, 455 N. 3rd St., for an evening of local shopping, live music, food and festive cheer. The annual market brings together more than 175 vendors offering handmade goods, artisanal gifts and locally grown treats.

Guests can enjoy live entertainment, interactive holiday activities and photo opportunities with fan-favorite Phreddie the Yeti. Whether checking off a gift list or soaking up downtown’s holiday vibes, the market is a can’t-miss tradition celebrating community and connection.

As the premier fundraiser for the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market, the annual event supports Community Food Connections, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to enhancing access to nutritious, locally grown food in the heart of the city.

A suggested donation of $5 per person is encouraged at the gate to support the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market, but it is not required. The event is a family-friendly, all-ages event, and dogs are welcome too. Find additional details at www.phoestivus.com.
