About the Bazaar
Relax and enjoy the very best of Christmas shopping Austin style. Our live music on the Capital Metro Music Stage is a favorite of local performers and audiences alike because of its warm and intimate setting. We’ll have wider aisles, a larger stage and lots more room to dance.
Our patrons find the shopping experience to be fun and relaxed. It’s a great place to find a unique assortment of gifts for those you care about and something nice for yourself too.
Our artists find that they can produce their very best works of the year and sell them at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. They look forward every year to reuniting with their extended Armadillo family.
The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar began as a special event at Austin’s famous Armadillo World Headquarters (AWHQ). The Armadillo World Headquarters was the inspiration or origin of many local cultural icons including Austin City Limits, Threadgills, and the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture, along with the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar.
The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar serves as a living link between the modern urban center of today’s Austin's and a time decades ago when the live music, artistic expression and lifestyle of this city first captured the imaginations of so many people across the country. Through more than three decades the Armadillo experience has continued to give Austin a modern identity as an accepting and free spirited community where creativity is respected and rewarded. Today's vital, growing city has been richly rewarded in terms of prosperity and quality of life as a result of the reputation that comes from this identity.
The success of the Armadillo Bazaar’s best of Austin identity was the inspiration for the Austin Bergstrom International Airport’s nature and character program that gave us good local bar-b-que, Amy’s Ice Cream and live music at the terminal. That program’s success at ABIA was the inspiration for the many visible local character features included in the design of the new Austin City Hall.
Come join us at our new location to enjoy a unique Austin tradition while showing your support for local artists and musicians who keep Austin cool.
