Your Hub for Denver's Community Pop-up Market

Denver’s Community Pop-up Market inaugural events are underway. Once a month, we are transforming a multi-use warehouse facility into a community pop-up market. This market will feature local artisans, sustainable businesses, and community organizations, creating a hub in Denver, Colorado. This is a grassroots community effort designed to foster connections, support community sustainability initiatives, and help strengthen the local economy.

An Access Point for Community Sustainability

Denver’s Community Pop-up Market is designed to be an access point for real, community-driven, sustainable solutions. We bring together Upcyclers, local food providers, curated vintage clothing, composting solutions, zero-waste artisans, local environmental organizations, and sustainable businesses to create a space where sustainability is both practical and accessible.

Space for Colorado Artists.

This is a place for artists to connect directly with Coloradoans. Artists and creators are welcome at all of our pop-up markets. Whether through painting, ceramics, handmade goods, or other creative expressions. Each market brings new opportunities to showcase work, spark conversations, and build relationships supporting Colorado artists.

"Non-corporate" Pride Market

This is a space to celebrate local LGBTQ-owned businesses, nonprofits, drag artists, queer artists, and more. This is a showcase of local pride without the risk of being overshadowed by corporate sponsors.

Spring Refresh Market

Upcyclers, vintage clothing vendors, and sustainable artisans are at the heart of Denver’s Community Pop-up Market. By bringing together those who transform discarded materials into functional and beautiful products, the market serves as a hub for creative reuse. From curated vintage fashion to one-of-a-kind handcrafted goods, each vendor contributes to a more circular economy.

From Warehouse to Community Hub

This pop-up market is housed in a dynamic, multi-use warehouse that allows us the flexibility to bring people together in unexpected ways year-round. One day, the space might be filled with upcycled goods and local produce; the next, it could be buzzing with people playing dodgeball. It’s a place where people come together —whatever that looks like for our community.
