👁️🧶 Spooky fall? Cozy fall? We’ve got it all! Boston’s broadest vendor mix is returning to Brighton Center, & things are getting a little weird around here 😱

🍂 The foliage is in full swing & sweater weather has descended upon us. Some of our creepiest vendors have crawled out of the woodwork, bringing a little extra October magic to the Bazaar. You never know what might go bump in the booth! 🫣

🪲🗝️ We’re a cabinet of curiosities, only much, much bigger. Shop crochet critters & curious cryptids, candles & cemetery art, knitwear & nightmare fuel, glassware & gargoyles, cookies & curiosities, comics & crystals, books & bones, houseplants & haunted wares, vintage leather & lurking legends, loose-leaf tea & tarot, mugs & monsters - plus plenty of things we couldn’t categorize if we tried.

👉 Sat. + Sun. Oct 17 & 18, 11am-5pm: 100+ thoroughly unconventional vendors are popping up at the Brighton Elks Lodge in Boston MA (326 Washington St. 02135)!

Meet our local band lineup for this Sunday!

12pm: Ivy Boy Ivy Boy is the indie folk project of Boston-based singer-songwriter Perry Eaton. Eaton, who has worn many hats within the Boston music scene over the years (from songwriter of indie quartet Beeef to Founding Editor of the storied local music blog Allston Pudding), finds a bit of a different tune with Ivy Boy. Here he takes a more acoustic approach while still maintaining the infectious nature of resonant hooks and pop-tinged melodies.

1pm: Puppy Problems Sami is a group of friends (Sami, Max, Nick, Kaera) making music in Boston, MA. We like to have fun despite what you may think.

2pm: Mozz Mozz is the recording project of Cole Triedman, also known as frontman of Somerville garage country rockers Fortuna 500. Mozz songs are somewhere between freak folk and indie, often touching on themes of dogs, wolves, and canines.

3pm: Slo-anne slo-anne is a Boston-based three piece who blends slacker rock n’ roll with alt-country to create infectious pop earworms.

4pm: Emi McSwain EMI MCSWAIN is a singer-songwriter and content creator in Boston, Massachusetts. After receiving her degree in songwriting from Berklee College of Music in 2022, she took to Instagram to show Boston’s hidden gems and highlight the music scene in the city. Inspired by 90s alternative bands, she approaches complicated topics with an obvious sense of humor.

5pm: Happy Just to See You Happy Just to See You is a Boston and NH based band that makes confessional indie rock that can sometimes exhibit classic warning signs of being a little yeehaw.

We can’t wait to rock with you all this weekend!

Welcome to the whimsical world of crochet created by Maya - Crafts by Papaya 🌻🦔🪩

Owned and operated by Boston-based fiber artist Maya Friedrich, Crafts by Papaya Maya - Crafts by Papaya displays her artistic abilities through crochet, knitting and creating all things cute! Her products range from beaded fidget toys to decorative flower pots to amigurumi animals. She credits her ability to produce large quantities of crochet (and occasionally knit) toys to her ADHD diagnosis that requires her to keep her hands busy at all times.

Discover the intricate details of hand-carved New England landscapes. 🌱🍄🌳

Third Cat Press is the work of Samuel Swap, an illustrator, printmaker and educator from central Connecticut. Specializing in high detail wood engraving prints, Swap depicts the abundance of biodiversity within the New England landscape through lush layers of ink on fine Japanese paper. Swap has worked with institutions like the National Park Service, Massachusetts DCR, and Connecticut River Conservancy to help link people to the love of their landscape, and the biodiversity in their own backyards through art.

Whether you’re looking for new artwork to decorate your home with, or to learn more about the ecosystems in your neighborhood, be sure to stop by Sam’s booth this weekend at The Charles River Speedway.
