A trip to The 17th Street Market can have you listening to live Flamenco music, while pushing a shopping cart containing your weekly groceries, a Ghuzheng, Lebanese Jam and Jewish Pickles. Not to mention a benefit performance by Richie Havens.
If you need guitar strings and you are shopping for lettuce, you can find them both at The 17th Street Market. Incorporating music is a little outside the box thinking. But that is what The 17th Street Market prides itself on. Folks come to The 17th Street Market for world foods, organic produce, fresh fish, gifts and a visit to the Guitars and World Music Store housed inside the market offering guitars, African drums, Chinese Instruments, CD's & free guitar classes and drumming circles for adults and children. Saturday events include "Mad Science", balloons, performances by world class musicians, a Vinyl Roadshow and the Arizona Musical Instrument Builders Expo.
