4th Annual Queer Holiday Market

The 4th Annual Queer Holiday Market is back on Sunday, November 22, at Chateau Luxe in Phoenix. It's run by the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber, and the whole day is dedicated to LGBTQ+ and allied small businesses, artists, makers, food vendors, and nonprofits from across the Valley. The organizers pitch it as a family-friendly, affirming space to pick up holiday gifts, handcrafted goods, food, and wellness products while putting your money directly into the local LGBTQ+ business community.

This fourth edition is moving to a new venue, and that's a big part of the story this year. Chateau Luxe was chosen for its indoor space, lighting, and convenient parking, and the move gives the market more room for vendors, food pop-ups, and seasonal treats. If you've been to previous years, you'll find more to walk through this time around. The food side of things is a real draw—beyond the shopping, there are food vendors and pop-ups on site, so you can eat your way through the afternoon.

There's a community stage too, with Jimmy Davis Music providing the soundtrack. Brick Road Coffee is the presenting sponsor, and the list of partners reads like a cross-section of the local scene: Prism Coffee Lab, Spectrum Medical (which is running a Wellness Lounge), Brazen Therapy, Drift Studio, Choice Hotels, one n ten, Pride Guide, Phoenix Pride, Semper Fi, Renewal AZ, Cadence Counseling Center, Catharsis Counseling Center, Trajan Wealth, and Apex. It's a broad mix of health, wellness, and community services sitting alongside the makers and artists.

Admission is free, and the market runs from 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday, November 22, at Chateau Luxe, 1175 E Lone Cactus Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85024. It's an indoor event, so you're out of the weather while you browse.
