Art & Craft
The core of San Francisco Bazaar shows has always been our quality handmade marketplace. The Urban Epic Fest will continue to curate a quality market focused on local made and independently designed goods. Expect to find crafts, art, housewares, jewelry and apparel with a sustainable twist. Gifts range in prices and will be sure to offer something for everyone on your list this upcoming holiday season.
Food & Farm
This year we bring back our local food makers, and expand our offerings to hot food vendors inside the Festival Pavilion alongside our much-anticipated line up of gourmet food trucks. Customers can also shop for local made baked goods, chocolates, jams, and pickles! The Urban Epic Fest will satisfy your inner foodie and help you find the perfect hostess gift or unique food item for Thanksgiving dinner.
Beer & Wine
Attendees will be able to sample and purchase quality libations in our exclusive Beer and Wine market on the spacious mezzanine overlooking the main floor. Customers can sip while they shop, but also bring home quality wine to serve family and friends over the holiday season.
DIY, Home, & Garden
Learn new skills at our three workshop stations. Leaders in the floral, craft, and food industries will be offering up tips on how to make your holiday season more sustainable and homemade. Set the table with your own floral arrangements, sew custom table linens, whip up a vegan feast, grow organic vegetables, pickle, brew, and more!

Holiday Fair Season Off With A Bang!
Over the past few years I have learned more about who my customer base is and the best times of year for me are. Turns out I’m like most retail shops – before the holidays is the busiest time! Often businesses make 40% of their money leading up to December. I’m no different so I’ve learned to do less summer fairs and pack them all into the fall. This makes for a busy couple of months but it also makes my efforts, time and investments worth while. This month both the Mt View fair and the Pleasanton Harvest Festival went well and I hope that’s an indication of good things to come. I have 9 more shows before Christmas so most weekends will be very busy.
I’ve found though once I do a few in a row I really get the routine down and things are easier and less stressful. My boxes are full of everything I need. My truck stays packed and I’m ready to go!
It will be very busy but fun as well. There is nothing like a high from a successful fair where you sold products that you put your heart and soul into. To have people connection and appreciate that is a feeling like no other. I am so grateful to my customers and their support!
Seattle Renegade Craft Fair 2015
I will be headed up to Seattle for the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend. This is my first Renegade event and Seattle’s first as well so this should be exciting! It looks to be great weather, which I am not sure if will hurt or help the fair but we will see. Luckily one of my dearest friends lived in Ballard so I have a cheap place to say. I do love Seattle and I look forward to seeing how my felted products do in the Pacific Nortwest! Wish me luck!
Still time to shop…..

Hooray I am Humboldt County bound this weekend for the Humboldt Artisans Fair at Redwood Acres in Eureka. I have attended this fair for many years and it is one of my favorites!
