Since 1976, the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar has been a cherished holiday tradition in Austin. This year, the vibrant and immersive fine art and music festival takes place at the Palmer Event Center (900 Barton Springs Road) Dec. 14-23.
The bustling shopping and music scene – featuring original artwork and artisanal works by over 200 artists – beckons seasoned collectors and casual holiday shoppers alike.
More keen on the tunes? The Armadillo has a stellar reputation for showcasing a slew of talented local musicians and established national acts (including Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, Marcia Ball and Shinyribs) on one stage.
