On Sept. 12-14, 2025, Junk in the Trunk held its biannual vintage market at WestWorld of Scottsdale, offering a one-of-a-kind shopping experience blending unique vintage finds and lively community engagement in a fun, vibrant atmosphere.
The market hosts more than 160 vendors offering vintage and handmade goods, and has become a popular destination for shoppers looking for unique finds and distinctive charm.
For Heather Nash, this year marked her third as the owner of Junk in the Trunk since she purchased it in 2024. What makes vintage goods so unique, she explains, is the history behind every item.
“It tells a story, it’s something you just can’t find today, and it brings a memory back to people,” Nash says.
Nash believes Junk in the Trunk is a standout cultural hotspot in the Valley because it brings artists, collectors, and vendors together, describing the community as “like a family,” with vendors collecting and curating just for this event.

Leah Williams, the owner of Ruby Mae Jewelry, has been a loyal vendor at countless Junk in the Trunk shows, starting with $20 worth of buttons and now resells vintage accessories.
“It’s just an experience you can’t get anywhere else,” she says.
Jeana Rodriguez, owner of Owl Create Art, originally went to the market a few years back just to shop around. Now, it’s her first time going as a vendor, feeling like her ceramics would do well.
“I knew there’s be a good demographic of people who’d come in and appreciate my artwork,” Rodriguez continues, adding that it has been the most profitable event she’s been a part of.
Jeff Gard, a community member, went to Junk in the Trunk as a first timer and couldn’t get enough.
“I love it. I was here Friday, and I came back again today to see what else I could fill my cart with,” Gard says.
The next Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market will take place April 24-26, 2026, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Stay tuned on the official Junk in the Trunk website for more information.
