The Outdoor Market Is Back, and September Is Going to Be Busy

Summer out here has a rhythm of its own. The heat presses down by ten in the morning, foot traffic thins out, and even our outdoor market — usually buzzing with pop-up tents and the smell of something cooking on a griddle — goes quiet. That's just how it works in the high desert. Everyone hunkers down, waits it out, and lets the courtyard breathe.

But that stretch is over.

The Market's Waking Back Up

Walk through the side lot or the courtyard right now and you can feel it shifting. Vendors are back, tents are going up, and the energy that disappears every June is finding its way home. September is shaping up to be one of our busiest stretches of the year — weekend after weekend of local makers filling the space with handmade goods, art, jewelry, food, and all the small, unexpected finds that make wandering through worth it.

If you've been waiting for a reason to come back and browse, this is it.

What Makes It Worth the Wander

Our outdoor market isn't a stand-in-line, buy-something-fast kind of experience. It's built for wandering. Tents spread across the side yard and courtyard, each one run by someone who made what's on the table — jewelry, ceramics, candles, art, desert-inspired goods you won't find anywhere else. You can talk to the person who made it, ask questions, take your time. That's the whole point.

Throughout September, expect the lineup to keep growing as more vendors fill in around the courtyard, so no two weekends will look quite the same. Come back more than once and you'll catch something new every time.

When to Come

The market runs every weekend, Saturday and Sunday, right alongside the shop. Morning light is soft and easy on the eyes if you want a slower start; late afternoon brings that gold desert glow that makes everything look good, tents included.

See You in the Courtyard

There's something good about a place picking back up after a quiet stretch. The energy feels earned. Come wander the market this September, meet the people behind the tables, and let the courtyard do what it does best.

We'll be here all month.
