Found Around began with a familiar question: what could we go do this weekend? A vintage market on one social feed. An estate sale on another. A great little shop you heard about and promptly forgot.
We’re bringing those possibilities together, starting with Phoenix and the Valley. A place to find a day out, remember a favorite vendor, and ask the community for that very particular thing you’re looking for.
A human eye, with a little help.
Research tools can gather candidates later. People still check the facts. Every listing on the board carries a source link and a last-checked date. If a time or street was not on that page, it is not on the card. An empty category means we did not have one we could stand behind.
What you can try
You can filter the weekend, open a source link, save a find on this device, and draft a Want. Wants are not sent. The editor can stage a draft for the session; it does not publish, and that page is not indexed. The public site is still not indexed either.

The review queue stays out of the public nav. It is a session prototype and is not indexed.
What will I be able to find on Found Around?
Vintage markets, flea markets, estate sales, farmers markets, maker markets, art walks, secondhand shops, and independent vendors in the Phoenix area. This weekend’s board is the confirmed set from the Sep 25 seed.
Are these real upcoming events?
The weekend board is published listings for Fri Sep 25–Sun Sep 27, 2026, with a source link and a last-checked date. A few rows are held for a human check and are not on the board. Hours and locked estate-sale addresses can change — confirm on the source before you go.
How will the Wanted Board work?
Shoppers describe an item, their budget, and their location. Relevant vendors can respond when they have a match. You can try a draft; no messages are sent.
