Know Before You Go
- Tickets: Free admission.
- Parking: The page recommends parking in City of Boulder garages or surface lots downtown; parking is free in the garages all day Saturday and Sunday. Street-metered parking is monitored, so visitors should read the signage.
- Accessibility: Organizers welcome visitors to contact info@fireflyhandmade.com regarding accessibility questions or needs.
- Pets: Pets are not permitted on Pearl Street Mall.
Tips & Advice
- Park in a City of Boulder downtown garage, where parking is free all day Saturday and Sunday, rather than a metered street space that is regularly monitored.
- Leave pets at home, because they aren't allowed on Pearl Street Mall, but bring the kids since the market is family-friendly.
- Put 1303 Pearl St into your navigation app, then walk the mall between 11th and 15th Streets, where the artisans set up.
- Dress for a day outside, since the whole market is outdoors on the Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall in mid-November.
- Sign up to volunteer if you'd like to help run the market, since every volunteer gets a Firefly Handmade gift card as a thank-you.
