Vagabond Indie Craft Fair

Coming back for its fourth round, undoubtedly by popular demand, Urban Bazaar will be setting up its Vagabond Indie Craft Fair this Saturday and Sunday, that features one-of-a kind pieces of jewelry, artwork, and accessories created by over twenty local artists. And if you happen to wonder what that super-sweet smell is while shopping, it’s most likely the decadent desserts sitting over at the bake sale table, with proceeds benefitting Rancho Cotate High School's art mural program.
