Bazaar Bizarre
Bazaar Bizarre began in 2001 in the Boston-area as a hodge-podge of friends and acquaintances cobbling together their handcrafted DIY wares to sell and staging an offbeat entertainment extravaganza.
In 2004 the Bazaar Bizarre spread to Los Angeles and Cleveland and in 2006 Make took us under their wing to include the Bazaar Bizarre as part of the Maker Faire in the San Francisco-area every spring.
The Bazaars in Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco happen every year during peak holiday shopping season in December.

It makes you want to step up your game
This year's Bay Area Maker Faire was the first time that I was exposed to Bazaar Bizarre, or any of the top-tier craft showcases that we all read so much about, for that matter. A huge room packed full of artisans you know and some you don't, but all who make you want to be set up right beside them. Just the booth displays alone are enough to give you a smorgasbord of ideas. Once you get past the initial drooling, you'll spend the rest of your time sopping up the slobber from all of the handmade amazement that these incredibly creative people churn out. The main BB table also had their own goodies for sale, and I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing the incredible illustrated print that they offered. I can only hope that I get my self in shape to attend next year.
