The Indigenous Peoples’ Day Phoenix event is a multi-day celebration of Indigenous creativity and economic empowerment. This year, Cahokia PHX, an Indigenous women-led venue in downtown Phoenix, is hosting a two-day Nite Market on October 12–13, 2025, from 6–10 PM at the Arizona Center.
Themed “Rise & Thrive,” the Nite Market honors Indigenous talent and supports the creative economy. Visitors will experience a vibrant mix of local and regional Indigenous brands, food vendors, artists, performers, and installations—showcasing both tradition and contemporary creativity.
Located on the ancestral lands of the O’odham and Piipaash peoples, Cahokia PHX fosters collaboration among social entrepreneurs, artists, and culture bearers. Beyond hosting events, it provides training and opportunities to empower Indigenous individuals in building sustainable creative enterprises.
This year’s Nite Market is more than an evening out—it’s a chance to support Indigenous entrepreneurs, enjoy unforgettable performances, and join a movement committed to equity and cultural resilience.
