SLOW Market: Holiday Edition brings local makers to Albuquerque’s Old Town Plaza
Holiday shopping at SLOW Market: Holiday Edition comes with a chance to meet the people behind locally made goods. Hosted by Above Snakes, the free market returns to Albuquerque’s Old Town Plaza on December 12 and 13, 2026.
A closer look at local work
Above Snakes describes SLOW Market as a curated gathering of artists, makers and food vendors, with an emphasis on New Mexico small businesses. The announced mix includes handcrafted goods, products presented as sustainably and ethically made, and local food and drinks.
Talking with vendors is part of the appeal: shoppers can ask about materials, craftsmanship and the stories behind individual products. The event listing does not name the makers or specify their goods, so check for updates if a particular vendor or food is important to your visit.

A separate Old Town stop
Old Town Cookie Crawl 2026 is listed in the Historic District on the same two days, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until cookies run out. Its scheduled hours overlap with the market, so visitors could plan to explore both; the crawl’s listing also mentions participating merchants and a collectible tin designed by a local artist.
