  1. Where is the Thieves Market in Phoenix and how large is it?

You’ll find the legendary Thieves Market at 18401 N 32nd St, Phoenix AZ, in the parking lot of Paradise Valley Community College. It’s not a gigantic market, as it’s limited to the parking lot of the college, but it’s large enough to kill at least a few hours – especially if you indulge in all the goodies and snacks! Learn more about Thieves Market and three other epic flea markets in AZ.   

  1. Which Arizona flea markets belong on my bucket list?

Thieves Market is far from the only option when it comes to AZ flea markets! In fact, there are literally hundreds of others all over the state, and we’re fairly certain that not a single one of them is a bad choice! We have some favorites, though, some of which include:  

  • The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market – a crowd favorite.  
  • Ahwatukee Farmers Market – deceptively named, because it’s technically in Phoenix (and still awesome).  
  • The Superstition Ranch Farmers Market – definitely worth the drive from wherever you are! Not only is the shopping great, but the views of the legendary Superstition Mountains are also to die for.
