Scottsdale is getting ready for a weekend of vintage finds, local creativity, live entertainment, and one-of-a-kind shopping as the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market returns to WestWorld of Scottsdale from September 18–20, 2026. Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the popular Arizona market will bring more than 160 small businesses, vintage curators, makers, and artisans together under one roof for three days of shopping and entertainment.
For visitors coming from Phoenix and other parts of the Valley, the event is more than a shopping trip. It is an opportunity to spend a full day or weekend exploring Scottsdale while enjoying the convenience of professional transportation. For guests who want to avoid parking, traffic, and the challenge of navigating Scottsdale with a group, arranging a private chauffeur can make the experience considerably easier.
When Is the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market?
The 2026 edition takes place at WestWorld of Scottsdale, 16601 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260. The market occupies more than 120,000 square feet and features more than 160 vendors from across the country.
The event schedule gives visitors several ways to experience the market.
The Friday Night VIP Shopping Experience takes place September 18 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The VIP ticket includes perks such as a reusable shopping bag, a drink ticket, re-entry throughout the weekend, and opportunities to shop before the larger crowds arrive.
On Saturday, September 19, early-entry shopping runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by general admission from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The market concludes on Sunday, September 20, with general admission from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Advance ticket pricing is currently listed at $50 for Friday VIP, $25 for Saturday early entry, and $10 for Saturday or Sunday general admission, with regular pricing applying after the advance-ticket deadline. Children 12 and under are free.
What Can You Find at the Scottsdale Vintage Market?
The appeal of Junk in the Trunk is the variety. Rather than focusing on a single type of product, the market brings together vintage merchandise, handmade goods, antiques, furniture, fashion, jewelry, artwork, architectural salvage, home décor, and other unusual finds.
The Scottsdale event is designed around the idea of “Hunt. Gather. Style.” Visitors can spend hours moving between vendors looking for pieces that are difficult to find in conventional retail stores. Experience Scottsdale describes the event as a vintage shopping destination featuring antique furniture, vintage fashion, handmade jewelry, architectural salvage, and unique home décor.
The scale of the event is also worth considering. With more than 120,000 square feet to explore and more than 160 vendors, comfortable shoes are recommended, and shoppers may want to bring a tape measure and a wishlist if they are searching for furniture or larger pieces.
For groups of friends, couples, interior-design enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who enjoys discovering something unexpected, the market can easily become an all-day Scottsdale experience.
More Than a Shopping Event
Junk in the Trunk is also designed to feel like a social event rather than a traditional shopping expo. Visitors can enjoy live music and DJs while exploring the market, with local food trucks, coffee, and other refreshments available during the weekend.
That combination makes the event particularly attractive for visitors planning a Scottsdale weekend. Guests can begin the day with breakfast, spend several hours at WestWorld, and then continue into Scottsdale for dinner, drinks, resort activities, or an evening out.
For visitors traveling together, transportation becomes part of the experience. Instead of having everyone drive separately, a private vehicle can keep the group together from the beginning of the day through the evening.
Why Private Transportation Makes Sense for a Large Shopping Event
One of the less glamorous parts of attending a major event is getting there and back.
WestWorld charges $10 per vehicle per day for parking, according to the event organizers. While driving yourself is certainly an option, visitors attending with friends or family may prefer to leave the driving and parking logistics to a professional chauffeur.
This is especially useful for shoppers who expect to spend several hours at the market. A chauffeur can pick up the group from a hotel, residence, restaurant, or another location and take them directly to WestWorld.
For groups traveling from Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, or surrounding communities, private transportation can also eliminate the need to coordinate multiple vehicles.
And there is another practical consideration: shopping bags and purchases.
After several hours browsing more than 120,000 square feet of vendors, guests may return to the vehicle carrying clothing, décor, artwork, furniture pieces, or other purchases. Having a spacious luxury SUV or larger vehicle can make returning to the hotel or home much more convenient.
Arriving at WestWorld in Comfort
WestWorld of Scottsdale is one of the Valley’s major event venues, and the September market will take place in its North Hall. The venue’s official event listing confirms the September 18–20 dates and location.
For visitors staying at Scottsdale resorts, a private chauffeur service offers a straightforward way to make the journey to the event without worrying about directions or parking.
It can also be particularly useful for visitors who are not familiar with Scottsdale. Rather than renting another vehicle or relying on multiple rides throughout the day, guests can arrange transportation around their itinerary.
For couples, a luxury sedan or SUV may provide the right balance of comfort and privacy. For families or groups of friends, a larger SUV or Sprinter-style vehicle can provide additional space and keep everyone together.
Planning a Scottsdale Weekend Around the Market
Because Junk in the Trunk runs across three days, visitors do not necessarily need to treat it as a quick shopping stop.
A Friday evening VIP visit can be combined with dinner and a night out in Scottsdale. Saturday’s early-entry session can give serious shoppers a head start before spending the afternoon exploring the city. Sunday offers another opportunity to browse after vendors have restocked. The organizers specifically note that vendors restock throughout the weekend.
That flexibility makes the event appealing to both local residents and visitors staying in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area.
For out-of-town guests, a private chauffeur can also help connect the different parts of the itinerary. Instead of arranging separate transportation for the hotel, market, restaurant, and evening activities, guests can plan a transportation schedule around the entire day.
A Good Event for Groups
Events like Junk in the Trunk are particularly well suited to group transportation.
Friends can travel together without worrying about who will drive. Couples can enjoy a more relaxed experience. Families can avoid the inconvenience of organizing multiple vehicles. Corporate or hospitality groups can also use private transportation when hosting visiting guests who want to experience Scottsdale.
The benefit is not simply getting from point A to point B. Professional chauffeur transportation gives groups more control over their schedule while providing a comfortable environment between destinations.
That can be especially valuable during a busy Scottsdale weekend when major events, restaurants, shopping districts, and resorts are all competing for visitors’ attention.
Getting to Junk in the Trunk From Phoenix and the Valley
WestWorld is located at 16601 N. Pima Road in Scottsdale, making the event accessible from throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Visitors traveling from Phoenix can arrange private transportation directly to the venue. Guests coming from Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Paradise Valley, or other Valley communities can similarly arrange pickup and return transportation according to their schedule.
For hotel guests, chauffeur service can provide direct transportation between the hotel and WestWorld without requiring visitors to rent a car or navigate unfamiliar roads.
This is particularly attractive for travelers who want their Scottsdale weekend to feel like a vacation rather than a series of transportation logistics.
