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.A few months ago, I discovered an event called the Bizaar Bizarre. I missed it when they came to San Francisco in April but San Mateo is just quite nearby. If you love hand-made crafty items, you should definitely check this place out. It's an awesome way to discover indie creative folks around your area. For more information, visit here.
