After a brief hiatus in 2020 due to COVID, the event returned in 2021 in a smaller format at The Backyard before expanding to larger venues like Revolution Live and the War Memorial Auditorium. I recently attended the Indie Craft Bazaar at the historic War Memorial Auditorium, which has just undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation by the Florida Panthers. The venue--flexible enough to host concerts and large-scale events--was the perfect setting. The bazaar runs from 12-5 PM and features over 95 vendors, with free admission and parking. It's also very family-friendly. I had a great time browsing a wide variety of handmade, artisan, vintage, and locally made goods. There was everything from jewelry, live plants, and clothing to crystals, candles, bath products, accessories, stickers, crochet flowers, baked goods, and stationery. One standout for me was the upcycled concert T-shirts from Backstage Trends. They also offer fun extras like free swag bags for the first 100 guests, DIY activities, and food and drinks from The Federal. Plus, you can even go ice skating next door at the Baptist Health IcePlex. It's easy to pair the Indie Craft Bazaar with other activities in Holiday Park and make a full day of it. I'm so glad I finally got to experience this unique and vibrant market!

I came here with my daughter on her 6th birthday to pick out toys for her birthday. The moment we…read morewalked in the staff was warm and friendly. The place is really cute for kids with toys for sale and a studio for kids to do arts and crafts. I wish they had more toys for kids over 5 but we were still able to pick stuff out.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a creative and relaxing day. Big Kid was so welcoming, and her mom, Squirrel Bait, was incredibly helpful when it came to guiding us through our craft creations. We were a large group, and they made sure everyone felt comfortable and had what they needed. If you're planning to make items out of clay, be prepared to spend several hours--it's a detailed process, but also very therapeutic. Painting was so relaxing, and the studio allows you to bring your own food and drinks, which made it feel even more like a fun gathering with friends. A large selection of items to paint for all ages! There is a studio fee and prices per items are reasonable. This place is definitely a must-visit and would be perfect for a Yelp event or any kind of group get-together. We're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a creative and enjoyable experience!

One of the things I've noticed recently has been that since the installation of the self service cash registers, there seems to be a belief amongst the staff that they don't have to talk to customers anymore. This morning, I had a similar experience. I went to the Michaels and found the frame that I was looking for. when I approached the register section of the store I could not find an employee. I did find a girl who was standing by the balloons and when I asked her for help, she had to tell the person on her AirPods to please hold on that there was a customer interrupting her. She then pointed me at the self serve, cash registers to let me know that those were there for my convenience. At which point she went back to talking on the telephone with her friend. I am certain that Michaels is not passing along the savings to their customers because the prices are absurd. And yet they can't seem to manage their staff at all.

We did a resin class and the resin scent is less than others however if you're incredibly sensitive to smells (like me) you might want to bring a mask and glasses (NOTE I was the ONLY person who was effected so it's not the norm!!!) the resin did make my eyes burn slightly like cutting an onion. Jasmin walks your through every step and gives you ideas. You can pick between a cutting board, serving tray, coasters, or a large letter. We chose cutting f boards and you can even have it engraved. It was super fun and easy (Jasmin also makes sure you don't mess up if not she'll help fix it!). This place offers various experiences so you can select what you like and even has a group that meets a few times through the year where they do items that have never been done so it's a new experience for everyone. Definitely a go to if you love arts and crafts
