Horseshoe Holiday Market To Feature Over 100 Small Businesses

DENVER, CO — Denver's Horseshoe Holiday Market is set to feature more than 100 small businesses this weekend in the city's Globeville neighborhood.

The market will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, at 4751 N. Broadway.

The market will feature more than 100 vendors selling handmade gifts, home décor, clothing, textiles, candles, ceramics, plants and other items. There will also be food trucks, live music, festive drinks, cocktails, artisanal food and creative workshops hosted by The Fruits of Our Labor.

“We recognize that so many people want to support local businesses and our markets offer a consolidated shopping experience and a fun outing with family and friends,” said Amy Yetman, the market's director.

"We have lined up a truly curated experience where you can interact with the maker and then buy something meaningful — for everyone on your list.”

Admission is free, but there will be a $5 suggested donation to benefit the Denver Urban Gardens’ Globeville Community Garden.

Shoppers must bring proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test (photos are accepted). Masks are mandatory for unvaccinated customers and highly encouraged for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, organizers said.

For the previous five years before 2020, the market was held at the Highlands Masonic Temple in northwest Denver.

“It was a magical and adored location for a holiday market but we ran out of room — both indoors for vendors and for customer and vendor parking," Yetman said.

After a long and difficult search for a new venue, Yetman found the former Salvation Army campus on North Broadway.

“The industrial warehouses are a perfect environment for our market and in a neighborhood that values independent artists,” Yetman said. “We are excited to transform the spaces into a festive small business hub where you’re guaranteed to find gifts for everyone on your list—coming straight from your local maker and not the Amazon warehouse."

The following weekend, Dec. 4 and 5, a Horseshoe ‘pop up’ will be hosted at Breckenridge Brewery's Littleton campus, 2929 Brewery Lane.
