Tempe Marketplace is an open air shopping center located in Tempe, Arizona. It is located along the Salt River near the interchange of the Loop 101 Pima/Price Freeway and Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway near the Tempe borders with Mesa and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
There are two distinct areas for shopping at Tempe Marketplace, an outer ring of Big Box retailers and the central area of smaller shops called The District. Between the two they feature over 120 retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues. Pedestrian walkways and other retail pads connect all areas to make for a very pedestrian friendly environment. In the center of The District is a large courtyard with a stage that has seen various musical acts perform and a large LED Video Screen which shows local sports teams and other special events to passers by.[3] Throughout other areas in The District are outdoor fireplaces, fountains and seating areas. Large amounts of tall plants, shade structures and misters help control the climate during the hot Arizona summers.
