[EVENT REVIEW] Monster Market 2025

Monster Market in Phoenix, Arizona, is a monthly market hosted by Cult Classics and takes place at Thunderbird Lounge! This market is all about featuring and highlighting Arizona's amazing local horror vendors.

The best part about this event is that each one has a theme since it takes place monthly. We have attended the November Monster Market: 2nd Annual Fall Market, December Monster Market: 3rd Annual Christmas Market, and most recently, the January Monster Market: Strange Love Marketplace.

Both November and December focused on the holidays, so vendors had their Christmas items out, plus some had deals running for the season.

January’s market was aimed towards Valentine’s Day, and the vendors did not disappoint with their products. There were so many unique items to choose from, and this market made shopping for your Valentine easy and convenient! Local vendors are a huge part of this market, but they also have a DJ set up playing killer music, and if you get hungry, you can either go for a sweet treat or a savory hot dog with some chips. We love this little local market and can’t wait for the next one!
