Keep Austin Bizarre 2nd Annual Christmas Bazaar

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:00:00 -0600

With an atmosphere true to Austin, the holiday shopping event will feature over 100 local artists and small businesses selling unique gifts and fine, hand crafted items at affordable prices. In addition, there will be tribal, improvisational and yogic dance performances, capoeira, circus acts, and resident musicians who play while patrons shop. This year more of the community has joined hands with Keep Austin Bizarre and will include performances by groups such as the JCC (Jewish Community Center), Girls School of Austin Orchestra, Mexican American Cultural Center, Amala Foundation, Lululemon Athletica, Crossfit Central Kids, and the Zilker Elementary School kid’s choir. In addition, the bazaar is supporting the non-profit Africa Bound Corporation. Food and drink, including a full bar, will be available.

History

Keep Austin Bizarre Christmas Bazaar got its roots from a collaboration of young vendors who used to set up and sell their creations on South Congress Avenue downtown. After years of cold weather the group decided to move to a warmer location indoors and extend their family. Its branches have sprouted in number from last year’s event, displaying an apparent need in our city for a home for these artists. From the start the KAB vision has been to put on an event that anchors our community to the feeling of old Austin while simultaneously creating an income outlet for the vendors and artists that wish to share their vibrant new crafts and wares with the public.

When

Keep Austin Bizarre is being held again at Palmer Events Center December 12 - 23, 2008 running everyday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Parking

The City of Austin charges $7 to park in the event center’s garage; however, the bazaar provides a $5 coupon good towards most booths. In addition, there is free parking near Dougherty Arts Center on Dawson Road.
