Why you should go…

The Sapphire Gallery and Sweet Palace are neighboring shops on Broadway in downtown Philipsburg, Montana, both owned by Dale Siegford and Shirley Beck.

The adjoining Sweet Palace candy shop makes fudge, saltwater taffy, caramels and hand-dipped chocolates on the premises.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
