Know Before You Go
- Tickets: Free admission.

Tips & Advice
- Park at the Gilbert Rd Park and Ride, which has more than 1,000 stalls, and take the free evening light rail to the Mesa Drive Park and Ride.
- Bring some cash, because each vendor sets its own payment options, and while most take cards, not all of them do.
- Dress for the weather, since the market is held outdoors in festival tents and goes ahead rain or shine.
- For a wider choice of food, walk next door to the Merry Main Street Food Truck Forest at Pioneer Park, since the market itself has only a few food vendors.
- Catch a ride with Mr. Claus on the Mesa Santa Express, which runs from the same Mesa Drive Park & Ride lot as the market.
