Art comes in many forms at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. There are traditional works of art, like paintings and sculptures, and some unique masterpieces, such as hand-shaped wooden salt and pepper shakers. Performance art also factors largely into the celebration, as evidenced by the many musicians who take the stage, and chefs and bartenders craft edible and sippable art.
The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar began more than four decades ago as a holiday market, a pop-up art gallery, and a food festival, and still plays all of these roles today. It will return to the Palmer Events Center from December 13th to 24th, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a roster of more than 175 artists from around Austin and all over the country. Peruse their handcrafted, one-of-a-kind gifts while you enjoy live music, sip on artisan cocktails, and nibble on creative bites. Tickets are $10, and you can buy them online or at the door.
