Disappointing this year. Prices outrageous and aside from jewelry, most vendors had limited inventory to sell. It was a better Market a decade ago. No plans to return.

While it was a great selection of artistry and Products, it was a lot packed into a small area, not allowing an easy access to view and see everything was a little too crowded from my taste

There were a couple unique stores but most was southwestern souvenirs. Prices on the more unique shoppes were pretty high. It was a fun place to visit.

The first year you charged for entry. $70 for 2 people for both days is outrageous. The communication of this was terrible and your people were uninformed about how to purchase tickets. A very unpleasant start to the experience. This will be our last visit from the East coast..

Loved the experience here in Santa Fe. Everyone was so talkative and engaging. There was so much to look at and learn about.
