Young business owners run their own booths, selling handmade items, crafts, games and other products they have designed and made themselves, and practice talking to customers, pricing and handling money. Shoppers of all ages stroll the booths and buy from the kid-run businesses, which makes it a good outing for families with school-age children who might want to try selling something themselves next time; vendor applications go through the fair organization's Scottsdale page. Free to browse; bring small bills for purchases. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Annual Holiday Tree Lighting — Desert Ridge Marketplace](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/annual-holiday-tree-lighting-desert-ridge-marketplace--listing-7e5971ed77b62f1cd7b23a8e) — Mon, Nov 23 · 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Desert Ridge Marketplace — The District · All ages · Free · checked Oct 21.
