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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
