Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Admission is free.
  • Parking: There’s no dedicated lot at the Armory, but parking is easy nearby: street parking along Foster and West Morgan Streets, the Durham Centre garage at 300 W. Morgan Street (corner of Morgan and Foster, one block away), and additional downtown decks within a few blocks. Downtown garages charge a flat event rate on busy days.
  • Accessibility: The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, and the entire market takes place on one level.
  • Pets: Dogs are not permitted. Trained service animals are always welcome.

Tips & Advice

  • Carry some cash along with your cards, because each vendor handles their own sales and not every maker takes the same payment methods.
  • Bring a tote bag for your purchases, since you'll be buying from many separate makers spread across the Armory.
  • Head for the Durham Centre garage at Morgan and Foster, one block from the Armory, because the venue has no parking lot of its own.
  • Leave the dog at home, because only trained service animals are allowed inside the busy indoor market.
  • The market is indoors and goes ahead rain or shine, so bad weather won't cancel your holiday shopping trip.
