Weeee’re BAAAACK!!The weirdos are back and better than ever this year with a TWO DAY event featuring many of Thunder Bay’s strangest, most creative and most unique creators! As always, this Christmas Craft sale is a little…. left of centre, a little different than your average craft sale. From comics to furniture, metal work to painting, photography to food, books to woodworking and lots more in between and spilling over the edges. Not looking for that ‘regular craft gift’ you can find anywhere? We got you covered. Looking for that gift that will make someone say ‘Where the H E double hockey sticks did you find this?!?! It’s amazing!!!’ We got you covered. Looking for that gift that makes you look like you searched the world over for the perfect present? We got you covered. Looking for sound financial advice and estate planning? Sorry, you’ll probably have to look elsewhere.
A two day event with over 2 dozen creators. Some creators are there all weekend but many are just there for ONE DAY ONLY, so you know what that means? EACH DAY IS DIFFERENT!!! It’s like two different sales, chuckles! SO MUCH AMAZING STUFF TO SEE!! And it’s all local. Support the local folk as they support you.
At the BAGGAGE BUILDING ART CENTRE at the Marina across from Bight Restaurant (hey, go have a delish bite while you’re down here), Dec 8 & 9 from 10am to 4 pm both days!!
Free admission as long as you dance the dance of happiness as you walk in. Seriously. We’ll be watching.
Enjoy some delish Rose N Crantz coffee & treats as you explore. Or just gaze at Jamie’s beautiful hair and sip on wonderful coffee.
And take in the wacky, the wild, the cool aid style crazy entertainment of Dee Marie and the Compelling Characters! Abed of Nails!! She has a BED OF FREAKING NAILS…. but somehow makes it Christmasy. It’s sweet.
Who’s going to be there dost though ask?well…. in no particular order….

phew. That’s a lot.
(For those artists/crafters/crazy people looking to be involved-as i am getting barraged by messages already- The Bazaar is an invite only event & i have a group of artists that are regularly part of the show. That being said we may have some openings if creators unexpectedly withdraw. Please message Merk a link to a website/FB page so i can see what you do. If there are openings i will see if you fit what we have (ie-if already have 5 potters and you are a potter, it may not work. And we’re the BIZARRE bazaar. I try to find the weird stuff that’s not at every show). Thanks!)-Thank you for your interest & understanding.
