Tempe's 6th Street Market Returns Sunday For Fall Season

TEMPE, AZ — Tempe's outdoor Sixth Street Market is getting ready to open for the first time since the start of the pandemic Sunday.

While the fifth annual fall market is coming back in full swing, there will be some changes due to the coronavirus pandemic. All guests will be required to wear face coverings, hand sanitizer stations will be placed along Sixth Street and Mill Avenue, booths will be spaced out to accommodate social distancing and food sampling will not be permitted unless it is pre-packaged.

"It's good to be back!" event organizers posted on the official Facebook page.

A spokesperson for Downtown Tempe did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Local artisans like Yum AF Bakery, Annie's Flower Truck and Sun Valley Bees will be around to offer up handmade goods. Restaurants and shops along Mill Avenue will also be open for guests to wander into, as well as food trucks. A complete list of vendors can be found on the market's website.

The market will take place every Sunday from Oct. 4 through Nov. 29, ending with a holiday market. It will return again in February for the spring season. It will be open weekly from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
