Established over five years ago by former owner Manny, our community gatherings began as the beloved Anthem Farmers Market. After thriving outside our original storefront and outgrowing the Anthem Community Park, the operation evolved into The Markets on 41st. Now, as we step into an exciting new era of growth, we are proud to officially rebrand as The Shared Equinox Event & Markets Company. While our name has evolved and our venues have transitioned to beautifully serve the West Valley, our core mission remains exactly the same: supporting small businesses, showcasing premier Valley vendors, and creating unforgettable, family-friendly weekend hubs.

We are thrilled to introduce the new Owner, Director, and Coordinator driving this next chapter: Merry! Originally hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Merry relocated to Arizona in mid-2025, bringing with her over 20 years of experience in professional event planning, high-end hospitality, and community curation. Her deep roots in the food and beverage industry—including her time as an event captain and bartender for premier Arizona catering companies—give her a unique, expert perspective on what makes a local market thrive. Merry prides herself on the joy of bringing people together and creating successful events that are fun, exciting, and deeply rewarding. Currently, she also serves as the Event Coordinator Director for FirstService Residential at Sonoran Foothills, where she masterminds large-scale resident events and successfully coordinates the Sonoran Foothills Farmers Market. Merry is thrilled to pour her lifelong passion for community gathering, exceptional hospitality, and seamless coordination into this new market venture
