The Bristol Bazaar Has Opened
Carolyn Verikas • July 8, 2023
Carolyn Verikas, who co-founded The Bristol Bazaar with Eric Verikas, said that their first weekend open to the public was “fabulous.”
“People were coming in at 9 a.m. and still showing up at 9 p.m.,” she said. “It was surreal. The common word we heard from a lot of people was ‘unexpected.’ People were pleased with the variety of vendors and the overall feeling of the space.The Bristol Bazaar was everything that we hoped it would be and more.”
The 5,800 spare foot space, located at 67 Race St. is open year-round and includes space for 32 vendors. Of these, six spaces are still available. Verikas said that current vendors are selling woodworking products, clothing, soaps, candles, tie dye items, resin products and more.
“All of our artisans are Connecticut-based,” she said.
The location is decorated with several trees and window boxes, which change seasonally, which Verikas said is intended to give the indoor space the feeling of an outdoor market.
Verikas said that The Bristol Bazaar will be “ever-growing” and “ever-changing.”
In addition, the Bristol Bazaar features an event space that can seat 30 people and a “think tank” conference room.

Hello Hello! Not only do we have some truly amazing shopping with a BUNCH of restocks from our Makers, but great Guest Vendors and The Paki Taco is back with us for a few days this week as well! Be sure to check out the fun workshops and upcoming events on our calendar below too. There are only a few weeks left to enjoy our Winter Wonderland Shopping Experience but we assure you that our next theme is just as "sweet". See you soon!! A Message from Wonderfully Made We saw a recent post by Brian's Angels Homeless Outreach regarding the dangerously cold weather we can expect over the next few weeks and we thought we could help. We chose the heaviest, most durable knits from our inventory and dropped off a box of hand-knitted winter hats. The need is great and we can do more, but we need your help. ο»Ώ For the month of January, Wonderfully Made will use a portion of our sales from The Bristol Bazaar to fund materials to make more hats for Brian’s Angels. We use a sturdy but soft washable yarn and buy in bulk. These hats are warm and they will last. You will find us on the top shelf - we just restocked with fresh inventory and vibrant colors.
