Find Luna & Saya's shiny earrings at the Tucson Together market.

Tucson is a creative town filled with murals plastered across otherwise empty walls, shops dedicated to showcasing the talent of local makers, and art galleries that host exhibits, programs and workshops headed by Tucsonans. 

We're always excited to highlight our incredible makers through stories, photos and Instagram Reels. On Saturday Feb. 18, we're taking our love for makers to another level. We're hosting an artisan market!

Head downtown from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to shop from more than five dozen vendors selling handcrafted items: macramé plant hangers, desert-inspired stained glass, handmade earrings, whimsical bath bombs, crystal crafts, chamoy-coated candies, recycled bike art, mini cakes and the list goes on. The market, sponsored by Dirty T Tamarindo and Hotel McCoy, takes place outdoors at 55 N. Fifth Ave., across from Hotel Congress.

There will also be a donation drive for local nonprofit Youth On Their Own. We encourage you to bring a donation of cereal, tissue, ramen or menstrual products to go toward the organization's Mini Mall, in which students can "shop" for free. You can find the full list of needed items here

And if you get there early enough, you might even find a free book hidden by the book-loving group Tucson Tome Gnome. The books, “Ain’t That a Mother: Postpartum, Palsy, and Everything in Between” and “Black Love Matters: Real Talk on Romance, Being Seen and Happily Ever Afters,” are written or edited by local authors Adiba Nelson and Jessica P. Pryde.

But now the thing you've all been waiting for: who will you find at the market?
