As the weather gets warmer and spring begins to settle in, Sugar Plum Bazaar is bringing the season’s festivities to Aspen Grove for their annual makers market.
The Spring Fling Market will run for two days, March 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and March 29, from noon to 4 p.m., bringing a curated selection of over 30 artists and artisans to Aspen Grove to showcase their locally made home, body, food and creative wares.
Attendance at the market is free, but donations will be accepted at the door for Big Dogs Huge Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and finding homes for the biggest dog breeds.
The market will host several food vendors from across the state, so attendees can grab a bite, including bakeries like Snow Loaf Bakery, a small-batch micro bakery from Golden, and Wildflower Wheat, a cottage bakery out of Roxborough Park. Attendees can also get a sweet treat from Mile-Hi Sweet Treats, a Denver based freeze dried candy maker, or sweeten their day with some honey from Koelle Tiny Farms, beekeepers from Lafayette.
Sugar Plum Bazaar co-founder Alissa Bush hosted one of Denver’s first maker-markets in 2011, and now organizes several seasonal events throughout the year. For Bush, the markets have always been a place to bring people together.

“Sugar Plum Bazaar has always been about bringing the community together and celebrating local makers,” Bush said. “After 16 years, I’m still amazed by the incredibly talented vendors we have across Colorado.”
The upcoming market will give attendees the chance to connect directly with the vendors who create the art, jewelry or even loaves of bread that they bring home.
“This spring we’ll have 32 vendors at Aspen Grove featuring artists, bakers, jewelry designers, clothing and handmade goods,” Bush said. “I’m really looking forward to people coming out to shop local, discover unique items, and support small businesses from around the state.”
