Bazaar Bizarre began in 2001 in the Boston-area as an offbeat entertainment extravaganza to showcase the DIY movement and handmade goods. It has spread across the nation to cities such as Los Angeles, Cleveland, Maker Faire Bay Area and Austin. San Francisco Bazaar is the west coast branch of this faire. Expect a Handmade market, Indie entertainment extravaganza and D.I.Y. Festival all under one roof!
Each year San Francisco Bazaar features hundreds of juried artists and designers. Shoppers can expect to find the crème de la crème of indie goods: handbags, pottery, letterpress stationary, silk-screened t-shirts, baby clothes, zines, posters, body products and more! Check out our Flickr Photo Page for images of past events or our Vendor Gallery for the vendors selling at our upcoming show!

San Francisco Bazaar is a juried event with rotating guest judges from the greater craft community. San Francisco Bazaar supports artists and craftspeople that appeal to the aesthetic of the indie art and craft scene and have innovative approaches to traditional craft forms. We do not accept all our applicants and traditionally we have had more applicants than spaces available for our show.
