Leave a comment

Right in our neck of the woods in the heart of the Golden Triangle! Read about the SOBO FLEA / STREET MARKET and get involved and be part of a market in the city!

————————-

We are a brand new open-air 60,000 square foot Seasonal Urban Market looking to help the up and coming entrepreneur by gaining exposure, credibility and consistency. We are dedicated to growing the community of artisans, fashioners, musicians,  crafts, creators and services of those that do not currently have a consistent domain while having an incredible amount of fun doing so. Our model is based around the philosophy of growing together, learning together and building a level of success that sets us apart from the rest with an understanding that ALL of Denver deserves to see your  blood sweat and tears on display.  Although we are invested in the up and coming business minded, we are not limited to helping the traditional “fleaers” have a place to call home. We are open every Saturday and Sunday now through October and cannot wait to put you and SOBO on the list of “things to do in Denver.”

Thank you for your interest in the SOBO Street Market … Read more!
