First Friday Surprise | Enchanted Winter Market

From December 04, 2026 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm
At Arts HQ

First Friday Surprise is a pop-up creative district that appears on the first Friday of the month, eight nights a season, October through May. Curated makers and artists, food trucks, and live music fill the space in and around Arts HQ Gallery, in the heart of Surprise. Every month carries a new theme that shapes the art, the makers, and the menu. Not a market, not a festival. A district that appears, then disappears.

December turns the district into a winter market. String lights overhead, a long feast table running through the middle of it, and makers filling the space with work made for giving. A night built on winter magic rather than any one holiday. Books and Authors is the month's featured discipline. The Winter Feast on the menu, warm and worth lingering over.
