2008 Urban Street Bazaar

- Where: Bishop Arts District, Dallas
- Cost: Free

DALLAS The Urban Bazaar and Bishop Arts District have paired up for the 5th Annual Bishop Arts Block Party. From handmade goods and artistic treasures to the unique products of independently run retail shops and salons, this event brings it all down to the Bishop Arts for a huge independent day, May 10th from 10am - 8pm.
Not only will shoppers discover the true meaning of Independent Shopping, but will find themselves mingling directly with the creative and talented individuals who construct their favorite wares. Each and every purchase made will directly influence the local economy as well as support the continued efforts of innovative artists and small business owners who preserve the celebrated pioneering spirit that keeps Dallas great.
Shoppers need to know that this is not their Grandmother's bazaar. The products here fit more the youthful and funky DIY crowd that has been spearheaded by the likes of the Austin Craft Mafia, Crafty Chica, and indie design bloggers.
This one day event, held the day before Mother's Day, features over 50 local indie designers, makers, live musicians, and shop owners offering jewelry, handmade kids clothes and toys (no lead paint here folks!), designer clothing, handbags, handcrafted soaps, home decor, goodies for the family pet and much, much more.
Event goers will also enjoy the quaint backdrop of the Bishop Arts District, a historic shopping and eating district just 5 minutes from downtown Dallas. Local merchants in the area will also be hosting sidewalk sales, open houses or special events to coincide with the local vendors and entertainment shutting down the streets for the day.
