SLOW Market: Holiday Edition

About this event

Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2026, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM , Albuquerque’s historic Old Town Plaza will once again come together to celebrate local creativity, entrepreneurship and community connection to showcase the 2nd annual SLOW Market .

During the holiday season, SLOW Market offers an opportunity to shop intentionally, support New Mexico local, small businesses and meet the individuals behind the products. Visitors can discover locally made goods, learn the stories behind them, and engage directly with ABQ’s unique creative community.

Hosted by Above Snakes , SLOW Market is a curated community market bringing together artists, makers, and food vendors whose work reflects a deeper commitment to locally rooted, thoughtfully produced goods and experiences.

Showcasing

• Handcrafted goods from local artists and makers

• Sustainable and ethically produced products

• Local food and beverage offerings

• Live musical talent and opportunities to connect with fellow community members

Our makers bring intentionality to their work, conscious stewardship to our land, materials, craftsmanship, and the human stories behind what each maker creates.
