Things to do
The Sunday Market at Elm Street has become one of the most consistent community events in Surprise, offering a weekly gathering space centered around local vendors, food, and live music. Held every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Surprise City Center, the market takes place along Elm Street near Bell Road and 145th Avenue. The location places it in the heart of the city’s newer downtown area, creating an easy, walkable setting for residents to spend a few hours outdoors. The market brings together a mix of small businesses, including local farmers, bakers, and makers. Shoppers can expect fresh produce, baked goods, handmade items, and a rotating selection of locally produced products. Food vendors and trucks are also part of the weekly setup, giving visitors the option to grab breakfast or early lunch while they browse. Live music is scheduled during market hours each week, adding to the atmosphere and making it more than just a place to shop. The setup is designed to encourage
people to slow down, walk the booths, and spend time connecting with vendors and neighbors. The focus is on supporting small businesses and creating a consistent gathering place within the community. Unlike large seasonal festivals, the Sunday Market operates on a predictable weekly schedule, making it easy to plan around. The recurring format allows vendors to build a regular customer base and gives residents a reliable event to attend without needing advance tickets or registration. The setting at Elm Street continues to evolve as part of Surprise’s growing city center, and the market plays a role in activating that space on a regular basis. For residents looking for something simple, local, and easy to attend, the Sunday Market at Elm Street provides a consistent option throughout the month, centered on small business, food, and community connection.
