Made for Mama Market and Expo

I love all of the local shopping events we have in the Phoenix area, and the majority of them are super kid friendly. Made for Mama Market and Expo is different though, because not only is it kid friendly, but it's kid-centric. Practically all of the attendees have children in tow, or are pregnant (or both). 

It's a two day event with all sorts of activities and vendors, ranging from baby blankets, gadgets and supplies, to shops and activities for children, and anything else a parent may need. They had their initial expo at Westworld in Scottsdale, and their second annual event this year in Gilbert. 

Tickets are very reasonable, with a $5 online early bird special, going up to $10 as the event gets closer. That ticket will get you in the door on both days of the event, in case you didn't see everything you wanted to on your first visit. This is a great value compared to other markets in town.

Note: for tickets, children 12 and under are free as are military families. 

I hope there will be a third Made for Mama Market in 2023, as its a fun event to get out and bring the kiddos. Stay tuned to their social media accounts for updates!

Highlights

• Very stroller and kid friendly
• Wide variety of vendors and activities
• Low cost ticket that gets you into the market both days, if desired

Final Verdict

I will happily attend future markets. The vendors and activities are different each time, and its a great excuse to get out of the house and shop local.
