2nd Sundays on Mill

A Market Like No Other

Returning November 8, 2026!

2nd Sundays on Mill will return this November with a fresh season of themed experiences you won’t want to miss. Join us the second Sunday in November, January, February, and April from 10 AM to 3 PM for a market that’s anything but average.

Each event brings a new theme to Mill Avenue, with on-street entertainment, interactive art, themed activities, snacks, drinks, and plenty of fun for all ages. Expect a mix of returning favorites and new ideas throughout the season.

The outdoor market spans Mill Avenue between 3rd St. and University and features a curated lineup of Arizona-based artists, makers, and small businesses, plus the fan-favorite Kids Market where young entrepreneurs showcase and sell their own creations.

The event is FREE admission, family-friendly, and dog friendly!
