This year marks the five year anniversary of the Baar Bazaar!  Originally just a handful of vendors selling in the Garden Bowl for a summer, the Baar Bazaar has grown and evolved over the years, has been a stepping stone for hundreds of businesses, designers and vendors in Michigan, and has inspired many others to organize lots of similar shows.

To celebrate the past five years, we are doubling the size of the Summer Baar Bazaar! The Majestic Theater will be host to 30+ vendors on Saturday, July 10th, from 8pm-2am. We are very excited to have Eleanora and Mod Orange playing while you shop! Please, no presents necessary -  just have a drink with us and get yourself something there instead!  As always, admission is free, doors open at 8pm, and this is an all ages event. Shoppers can drink, watch a free show and shop til 2:00 am!
