Historic Old Town hosts the Portal Market located on the east side of the Old Town Plaza. The Market operates daily from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. however, the vendors sell at their discretion, so the number of vendors varies from day to day. The Market serves as an outlet for local artisans to sell their handmade jewelry. Turquoise, a popular New Mexican gem, along with other precious minerals can be found incorporated in bracelets, earrings, and necklaces alike. If you're looking to purchase authentic, handcrafted jewelry of the Southwest, the Old Town Portal Market is the place to be.

Applications to participate in the Old Town Portal Market are open and available here.
Applications close on Thursday, May 15 at 5 pm.
Interested local artisans are encouraged to join the Albuquerque Old Town Portal Market. The City program is happy to accept applications from vendors of all backgrounds, something that makes this Portal Market unique from other programs around the state.
