Why MONSTER MARKET PHOENIX?
– The team behind this show has helped produce many successful events in the Tempe/Phoenix area for the last 7 years, including many of this venue. We have also helped promote many other events in the Phoenix/Tucson area, including Game On Expo, Cult Classics AZ, Arizona Toy Con, Phoenix Fearcon, Tucson Comicon, International Horror Sci Fi Fest, and many more.
We are also vendors who know its difficult to be spotlighted at media shows and are looking to help build your business and create an event we can all benefit from and grow to become a show spotlighting artists and local creatives. We have bene recognized for this as recently as this year with MONSTER MARKET being named one of the BEST OF THE VALLEY 2023 by Phoenix Magazine for our alternative market series.
IS THIS A JURIED EVENT?
– Yes, you will have to apply to be considered to vend at MONSTER MARKET PHX. This is to make sure we have vendors/artists/crafters/artisans who have product that matches the theme of the show and to make sure we have variety in our sales floor. You will be spotlighted on our website as well, which serves as a great promotion for what you do. We want you to be the star of our show and your art/goods to draw people into our event. We also have limited space and it’s no fun if 15 people are selling the same thing, after all. We do give preference to returning vendors from past events in our jury process; this is so we can support those people who’ve supported and helped grow the event.
HOW ABOUT COSTUMES?
– Costumes are welcome.
ALL AGES?
– Yes
PET-FRIENDLY?
– Yes
HOW MUCH ARE TABLE SPACES?
– Tables are $75 if you are accepted into the event. You must be able to pay this amount ahead of the show in order to be considered as a vendor. Spaces are 10 x 10.
LOCATION AND SET-UP:
Set up time will be between 9:00 am – noon on event days – show from noon to 6pm. PLEASE BE PROMPT!

We do ROLLING ADMISSION. So the sooner you apply when we announce, the better your chance of being chosen. We may not reply to all submissions immediately based on volume, but we will try to get back to everyone as soon as we can. Table spots are not confirmed until payment is received. If someone is accepted before you pay and spots sell-out, your payment will be refunded. You can get your table refunded up to 2 weeks before the event, after that we do not refund your payment as we use the fees to market the event.
